A Letter to Mrs. White’s Sister, Monday, December 22, 1890
Dear Sister Mary Foss,
(MR1033 49)
[Mary was six years older than Ellen White. In 1842 she married Samuel Foss, an elder brother of Hazen Foss. See pp. 89-92, below, for a facsimile of this entire letter.] I wrote to you a few days ago and now another matter comes up. Elder Loughborough is writing me asking if I know of anyone now alive who was present at the meeting I have mentioned held at Maguire’s Hill, where I related the first visions I had.... Mary, you were at the meeting, were you not? Your memory is so good. Do you have any remembrance of this? If so, state on paper what you do know in regard to it.
(MR1033 49.1)
I have spoken three times in this place and will return from here to my home at Battle Creek having been away three months, laboring constantly from place to place. I speak here four times more, then return home.—Letter 37, 1890, pp. 1, 3.
