    Lt 3a, 1874

    White, W. C.

    Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California

    January 12, 1874

    Previously unpublished.

    Dear Son Willie:

    I have just fifteen minutes to write to you before we must take letters to the office.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 1

    We are usually well. Father remains quite well except his teeth are troubling him, but cold steel [forceps] will soon cure them. The children are not very well. I fear the climate is not as good for them as in the mountains. They seem to have a rash. May has been very, very sick and can now only take a few steps. Willie, May is my preference. She has really the better disposition of the two. Pet [Addie] is a very sweet girl for one of her age, but she has not the best disposition. May has found a large place in our hearts.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 2

    Last Sabbath I spoke to the little company here with much freedom. They have had so little labor here they appreciate our efforts for them.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 3

    One week ago, I spoke upon the Sabbath, and Sunday afternoon I had an appointment. Quite a good number were present. As we were about [to] enter the house, a notice was handed your father that the Presbyterian minister would speak upon the Sabbath question in the evening. Your father and Adelia attended. He reviewed him yesterday afternoon. He had good freedom and a fair congregation.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 4

    We have purchased us a couple of horses and a covered carriage, a very extra carriage, for $120.00—all good.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 5

    My time is up. Will write more in a few days. Excuse this hasty line.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 6

    Love to Brother Brownsberger and yourself. We received your letter yesterday.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 7

    Your Mother.2LtMs, Lt 3a, 1874, par. 8
