Palmer
and
Willie
came
to
my
room
and
told
me
that
there
was
15
feet
of
water
in
the
well.
The
next
morning
there
was
18
feet
of
water,
and
the
workers
are
pumping
hard
to
get
the
water
out;
for
they
wish
to
go
a
fey
feet
further
down,
so
as
to
make
a
reservoir
for
the
water
that
flows
in.
[
am
so
glad
that
we
shall
have
no
dearth
of
water.
The
report
is
that
the
water
in
the
new
well
is
soft
and
pure.
The
old
well
has
never
yet
gone
dry,
and
at
present
the
house
is
supplied
from
this
well.
1
think
that
when
the
new
well
is
in
operation,
there
will
be
water
enough
for
all
domestic
and
irrigating
purposes.
The
view
from
the
west
windows
of
the
sanitarium
building
is
beautiful,
From
them
can
be
seen
Paradise
Valley
and,
beyond,
the
Pacific
Ucean,
In
the
evening
when
the
last
rays
of
the
setting
sun
make
a
path
of
gold
across
the
water,
the
view
is
especially
fine.--Letter

Glendale,
Calif.)
A
week
ago
last
Tuesday
Sara,
Maggie,
and
I
left
San
Diego
and
came
to
Los
Angeles.
Brother
[J.
A.]
Burden
met
us
at
the
station
and
took
us
to
the
restaurant,
where
we
had
dinner.
In
the
afterncon
we
came
out
to
Glendale,
to
the
new
sanitarium,
where
we
have
been
staying
ever
since.
We
found
much
to
do,
and
the
brethren
have
held
several
important
meetings.
We
are
glad
to
be
able
to
write
that
the
business
which
has
kept
us
here
is
closing
up.
In
a
board
meeting
held
today
the

cult
point
was
settled.
Brother
Simpson
resigned
his
place
as
manager
of
the
sanitarium,
and
has
been
appointed
purchasing
agent
for
the
sanitarium
and
restaurant.
This
is
the
last
hard
piece
of
work,
and
now
[
am
sure
that
other
matters
will
be
easily
adjusted,
and
we
shall
soon
be
able
to
start
for
home.
We
shall
go
to
Redlands
tomorrow,
to
stay
over
Sabbath
and
Sunday.
The
next
week
we
shall
go
to
Fernando,
and
then
to
Mountain
View.
We
are
pleas-
antly
situated
here,
but
I
am
longing
for
home.
I
do
so
much
want
to
see
you
all.
Your
father
has
worked
very
hard,
and
he
wants
to
go
home
as
much
as
you
want
him
to
come.
But
the
nature
of
the
work
here
demanded
our
stay-
ing
for
a
while.
We
could
not
have
gone
home
earlier,
for
we
felt
that
we
must
do
something
to
help
this
sanitarium
to
get
started
on
right
lines.
Brother
Burden
has
been
chosen
as
manager
of
the
institution,
and
Sis-
ter
Rurden
as
bookkeeper,
and
we
feel
sure
that
they
will
be
fully
competent
to
carry
forward
successfully
their
work
in
connection
with
the
sanitarium.
They
will
labor
faithfully
and
earnestly.
But
the
way
had
to
be
prepared
so
that
they
could
work
to
advantage.
There
are
at
Redlands
some
brethren
and
sisters
who
are
able
to
help
the
institution
with
their
means.
We
hope
to
meet
these
people,
and
to
in-
spire
in
them
such
confidence
in
the
management
of
the
sanitarium
that
they
will
feel
free
to
give
of
their
means
and
make
liberal
loans.
The
sanitar-
jun
is
just
beginning
its
work,
and
it
greatly
needs
this
help.
The
Lord
has
worked
on
minds,
and
a
much
more
favorable
conditon
of
things
exists
here
now
than
has
existed
for
some
time.
We
hope
much
from
this,
and
we
pray
much
that
the
Lord
may
soften
hearts
by
His
grace,
and
that
His
truth
may
triumph.
