I am very glad that we are able to send you so man good and faithful workers as we are doing at this time. MMM 141.1

The Institute at Ottawa Kansas was a great success. There were about three hundred in attendance comprising fair delegations from the surrounding conferences, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, & Texas. There were these form Iowa, Brn. Ross porter, Wickham, and Washburn. These Brethren came to the meeting with the same spirit of debate manifested at the Conference. Mother was shown this spirit in dreams the second day after she arrived, and in a morning meeting she told them plainly that she did not want the Minneapolis experience repeated at that meeting. Many, including the brethren from Iowa, made hearty confessions, and several claim to have experienced a new conversion. MMM 141.2

The institute here is much smaller but is of the same general character. Delegates are present form New York, Pennsylvania and the Atlantic Conferences; but none as yet from New England.... MMM 141.3

Hoping to hear from you often, I am
Yours very truly,
