Lt 85a, 1902

1902 [circa]

Previously unpublished.

Dear Brethren,—

I wish that Brother Moran would explain to you, as he has explained to Miss McEnterfer and myself, the particulars of his plan. It is not his plan to keep a hotel for tourists. He will tell you what he designs to do, as he has told us; and you will see that there is not the danger that we feared that he will involve the Conference in debt. He will deal with the businessmen himself.17LtMs, Lt 85a, 1902, par. 1

Please get a full explanation from him before he leaves. Let him make it so plain that all will understand that his plan is not contrary to the testimonies that I have borne to him in regard to the work in Los Angeles. I wish that Brother Parlin would take down his explanation in shorthand.17LtMs, Lt 85a, 1902, par. 2

If I have misunderstood Dr. Moran’s relation of matters, I wish to understand them plainly now, that there may be no confusion.17LtMs, Lt 85a, 1902, par. 3
