Dear Brother and Sister Haskell:

I can write you only a short letter at this time, but I will say that I am pleased to know that you will not go directly to South Lancaster. I have hoped that you would visit Loma Linda and call at several other places on your way East.25LtMs, Lt 8, 1911, par. 1

Last night, I retired early after my bath treatment, but had a hard night; therefore I do not feel as well as I should like to.25LtMs, Lt 8, 1911, par. 2

Elder Haskell, we are certainly making progress in the matter of meeting the people not of our faith. As we shall act our part, and do the definite work God has pointed out, we shall see many souls acknowledge the evidence of the truth.25LtMs, Lt 8, 1911, par. 3

Tell Brethren Sutherland and Magan that one important matter that is repeatedly pressed upon my attention is the importance of our ministers, physicians, and teachers in the South, seeking and finding opportunities to unite their interests with the teachers in the large educational institutions in the South, and especially in those established for the education of the Negroes.25LtMs, Lt 8, 1911, par. 4

Brother and Sister Haskell, I am hoping that you both shall now make your life just as restful as possible, because you do not know what is before you. Let us hear from you as often as possible.25LtMs, Lt 8, 1911, par. 5

We must do all that we can to maintain an understanding one with the other. We must draw in harmonious lines. I am so thankful that you both are in the work.25LtMs, Lt 8, 1911, par. 6
