Dear Brother and Sister:
Just at the beginning of our St. Helena campmeeting, I wrote you a letter; but it was mislaid, and not until today did I find it. I am sorry for the delay. Since I wrote the letter June 20, I have heard that you are at Melrose. PCO 113.1
How do you find the work there? When will you be ready to come west? I hope you may be with us in southern California soon. PCO 113.2
At our St. Helena campmeeting there were over one hundred tents and about three hundred campers during the first week. Then people came in from Healdsburg, San Francisco, Oakland, and other places, so that there were more than five hundred present the last Sabbath and Sunday. PCO 113.3
I spoke six times. Some days it was very hot, and I felt the heat considerably. Have been very sick since the meeting, but am better now. PCO 113.4
Twenty-five were baptized at the close of the campmeeting, and others were to be baptized in their own churches. PCO 113.5
About $450 was raised on the big fund, and $150 for the Huntsville Sanitarium. PCO 113.6
