Brother E. R. Palmer

My dear brother,—

I think you should have a change of climate. Will you not, my brother, come to the Sanitarium here for a while and take some treatment? I will see that this treatment shall cost you nothing. 18LtMs, Lt 233, 1903, par. 1

If you come you can see how this climate agrees with you. I do not think you would find the winter weather unfavorable. If you do, you might try the climate in Los Angeles. In some places where the climate might of itself be good, the surroundings would not be pleasant, but we would like you to have pleasant surroundings as well as a favorable climate. 18LtMs, Lt 233, 1903, par. 2

My forthcoming book on health and temperance I will give to help the sanitariums pay their indebtedness. But one condition on which I shall donate this book shall be that when our workers need a rest, they may be accommodated at our sanitariums free of charge. 18LtMs, Lt 233, 1903, par. 3

If you can come, we will do our best to see that you are situated as favorably as possible. I write you this because I feel a deep interest in you and wish your life and health to be preserved. We would be much pleased to have you situated where you can be near to us so that we can counsel together and be a mutual help and strength. Please let us hear from you soon in regard to this proposition. Whenever you are ready to come, let us know, and we will see that you are met at the depot. 18LtMs, Lt 233, 1903, par. 4
