My Dear Mary: MMM 119.1

It is Friday p.m. A. T. Jones is about to give his fourth lesson on the Ten Kingdoms. There is quite a fair representation from different parts of the country, and we are as busy as bees.

We are nicely situated for a good meeting and we expect a great blessing before we are done. MMM 119.2

Mother is growing stronger. I am well, all but a cold. The dust on the road was pretty bad, and it made my throat sore. MMM 119.3

We are comfortably located in a house rented for the winter by the School. It is about 16 rods from the church. You see, there were lots of new houses built about here a year ago, not yet occupied, and our people have rented a number of them. We are in one of these. MMM 119.4

Elder Butler is very sick with typhoid fever, and he does not expect to be here at all. This puts a heavy burden onto Elder Haskell. MMM 119.5

Elder Conradi has not come yet, and Elder Mattison, though here, is sick. C. H. Jones is expected this p.m. MMM 119.6

I hope you will have a good time. Keep in in the morning and evening, and get out all you can in the warm part of the day. Ask Rehiba to write me about the school, and ask Ella to print me a little letter. MMM 119.7

I suppose we must go to Battle Creek after the conference, but not for a long stay I hope. MMM 119.8

Love to Mother and Hannah. Kisses for the children. Was glad to get your letter. MMM 119.9

Goodbye. W. C. White.
