Dear Brother Haskell:

I am sending you with this copies of a letter I have written to Elder Reaser, in answer to two received from him. I take it for granted that the change we desired has begun to take place in him; but if you see no signs that such a change has come to him, and think the encouragement given in this letter would not be best to come to him just now, you need not place the copy sent for him in his hands. I will trust you with this matter. 23LtMs, Lt 6, 1908, par. 1

I feel very tenderly toward Brother Reaser. If he will become converted, and get out of the fog in which he has been, he will make a strong worker in the cause. This experience will help him to teach the importance of the testimonies. If Elder Reaser could realize with what joy the word of his true reformation would be received, he would make determined efforts to follow the light God has given. 23LtMs, Lt 6, 1908, par. 2

I will be very glad to see you again. Your room is ready and waiting for you. Brother Metcalfe and wife are with us. Now I must close, or I cannot send this tonight. May you have a most satisfactory and happy new year. That much of the Holy Spirit may rest upon you both is my prayer. 23LtMs, Lt 6, 1908, par. 3
