DEAR SISTER WHITE:-

Your letter referring me to your diary sent to Edson, and the three articles were received on the last boat. Edson is in Chicago and has been for seine time so I am told. Any way he is not in Battle Creek. I will write him a line and before I return east will endeavor to call on him and try to interest him in the work for the present time. For certainly God is pouring out of his Spirit. MMM 238.1

No doubt you will get the Bulletins end there will be a number that will write you all the particulars about the Conference so it will be not necessary for me to try and write the news. MMM 238.2

The Institute before the Conference was pronounced by the brethren a success. What you wrote me before I left Cal. as to the Lord helping me proved true. God has blessed, me with a degree of freedom and so he has many others the same. Brother Porter who was chosen to present one subject failed; in health, on account of ever study and is now in Missouri visiting his friends. He has recovered only his mind was week. It was over strain of the mind. Brother Olson stands it well, and so do all of those who bear the responsibilities. MMM 238.3

Our morning meetings have been excellent many are getting into the light. A few have not come out as yet who it seems they do not receive the blessing that come of the others do. This morning Brother Van Horn made a good confession. Such an one that I never heard him make before. It affected the entire congregations. MMM 238.4

At this Conference the Testimonies are used more I think then you would have spoken were you here. A number have been converted. Some in the city those who have scarcely heard a sermon. They here convicted of their sins and could not rest until they had given their hearts to God and than went around to their neighbors and told them what me the Lord had done for them. At once they began to keep the Sabbath although they had never heard a sermon on it or ever read anything on it. MMM 238.5

Could write more particulars are but that is unnecessary as you will get the Bulletin and others will write you and then I have no Stenographer only those who I catch when they are not engaged. Which amounts to but little as I have to [original illegible] send the letter to the wrong place unless I see to them all myself after they are written. [Selection ends here.] MMM 238.6
