[J. E. White]:

I have written you several beginnings of letters, then various matters would be placed before me—manuscripts of books to read, and many things to write. I will send you copies of things that I send out to various conferences. My general health has been remarkably good, and thank the Lord for this. I have worked continuously since coming to America. 17LtMs, Lt 261, 1902, par. 1

We are well situated in a most beautiful place. The scenery here is beautiful, but I do not think the climate is as healthful as the climate of Cooranbong, Australia. We had but little fruit last year, but this year we have had peaches and cherries—three very large cherry trees bearing. The cherries were very large cherries, but not as large as some cherries. I speak of them in comparison with those in Maine. I have had all the peaches for our family use. We gathered nice blackberries. These things are a blessing. 17LtMs, Lt 261, 1902, par. 2

I did hope I could come and see you, but could not do this. Had to give this up. 17LtMs, Lt 261, 1902, par. 3
