Exhibit 9—Sabbath, March 25, 1876, Oakland, California, Ellen White to James White
Dear Husband: ... Mary Clough* and I will do all we can to forward the work of my writings. I cannot see any light shining to Michigan for me. This year I feel that my work is writing. I must be secluded, stay right here, and I must not let inclination or persuasion of others shake my resolution to keep closely to my work until it is done. God will help me if I trust in Him. *Mary Clough (rhymes with “how”) was the daughter of Ellen White’s sister Caroline. ERWDA 11.2
