Dear brother Daniells,—

I have had some talk with Dr. Sanderson in regard to the help essential in the Sanitarium. I cannot learn much from him. I ventured to answer some questions in regard to Dr. Sanderson standing at the head of the Sanitarium. I told him that if he had the ability, we would be very glad to have him do this. But you know that he has not the qualifications necessary for a successful manager, though he is fully confident that he has.16LtMs, Lt 171, 1901, par. 1

A competent, experienced manager is needed at the Sanitarium, someone who has more than a boy’s judgment with only a boy’s experience. And we need not only a manager, but an experienced physician. Dr. Sanderson has not been increasing in ability or in the knowledge of God. Until this matter is adjusted, there will be little patronage at the Sanitarium. We need a physician who will constantly advance, improving every opportunity for growth, a physician who will do all in his power to carry out the Lord’s will and way, to whom the Lord can impart knowledge.16LtMs, Lt 171, 1901, par. 2

I am deeply concerned for the Sanitarium. Some change must be made. We are waiting for the man of the Lord’s appointment to come. We know that He has someone for this place.16LtMs, Lt 171, 1901, par. 3

Board meetings are being held at considerable expense to consider the matter of the necessary changes, but little is being done to remedy the defects, which are very apparent. Dr. Loper has been mentioned as a good man for the place, and if his services can be secured, I hope that he will be sent for at once. He is now in Fresno with his relatives. Dr. Sanderson has sent in his resignation. If he leaves the Sanitarium, we must have help at once. Will you not write to Dr. Loper?16LtMs, Lt 171, 1901, par. 4

May the Lord help us in this matter, that the right man may be found.16LtMs, Lt 171, 1901, par. 5
