    Lt 41, 1905

    Belden, Brother and Sister [S. T.]

    “Elmshaven,” St. Helena, California

    February 1, 1905

    This letter is published in entirety in RY 60-62.

    Dear Brother and Sister Belden,—

    I am sending you with this copies of letters in which you may be interested. I wish I could talk with you both. I wish to ask you, Do you receive the two dollars a week that I arranged to have sent you by the Australian Union Conference? Please tell me in regard to this. Brother Hindson says that generally the money has been placed to your credit on the office books, and that you have sent to the office orders for goods which have been filled. Would you prefer to have the money sent you? If so, please let this be known, and it will be done.20LtMs, Lt 41, 1905, par. 1

    I made the arrangement before leaving Australia that you were to receive a certain sum each week. The brethren gave me their word that they would do as I had requested. Please let me know your circumstances; and if the arrangement that I made has not been carried out, I will write again about it. I do not want you to suffer for want of food and clothing.20LtMs, Lt 41, 1905, par. 2

    It is not right that Frank does not write to you often. I am very sorry that he does not do this and that he does not give you any financial help. Be assured that you shall not want while I live, if you will keep me acquainted with your circumstances. If your children neglect their duty, I will try to supply the lack, though I am paying interest on twenty thousand dollars.20LtMs, Lt 41, 1905, par. 3

    Please write to me every mail. In the last mail I sent a response to your question regarding your coming to America. I dare not take the responsibility of deciding this matter. You can do as you think best and as your friends shall decide. I dare not at my age take any more responsibility. I have very heavy burdens to bear in connection with the cause of God. Morning after morning I rise at one and two o’clock to write out important matters.20LtMs, Lt 41, 1905, par. 4

    With much love,20LtMs, Lt 41, 1905, par. 5

    Your sister.20LtMs, Lt 41, 1905, par. 6
