In a lighthearted letter to her longtime acquaintance and friend Mrs. G. A. Irwin she reported on good meetings and good food: 6BIO 345.2
We had a pleasant journey and safe arrival at Loma Linda. Yesterday [Sunday] and today there have been heavy clouds, and we have had no sunshine. We hope the sun will soon shine, for it seems lonesome without the sunshine. 6BIO 345.3
On Sabbath I spoke in the afternoon, and the Lord strengthened me. I shall speak again, perhaps tomorrow. There is quite a nice company here, and decisions are being made concerning the work. I think the Lord will guide the people who have gathered here to make right decisions. 6BIO 345.4
They have excellent food here, strictly hygienic.—Letter 24, 1911. 6BIO 345.5
