James Edson White,—
My son, I want you to send me a copy of all I have written you while you have been engaged in the work of the Southern field—or the letters themselves. I want a copy of all you have written me. I may have copies of many of these letters; but send me all writings that concern your labors, your encouragements and discouragements, from the commencement of your work in the field. I have light in regard to this matter and I want these matters. Send them, and I will examine them and prepare them as I can to come before the people. Much is already where I can use it, but send me experiences. Send everything you can and let me see it. 17LtMs, Lt 258, 1902, par. 1
I send you copies of articles you may use in your paper. 17LtMs, Lt 258, 1902, par. 2
