The following letter was written by Mr. C. W. Wheeler, editor and proprietor of The Waitsburg Times, Washington. The "Dora" referred to is his sister, the young lady whose letters to her former teacher were published in the November, 1895, Journal,page 331.
My Dear Mother:—Alice, Dora, and Amy have gone to church, and you already know what I am doing—writing to my dear old mother, my best earthly friend. I received your letter a few days ago and was delighted to get it and for two reasons. First, because it always gives me pleasure to hear from you, and second, to be assured that my letter had given you so much pleasure.
And now let me speak to you of Dora: You are correct when you say that her improved condition is all due to our Heavenly Father, who alone can comfort, who alone can cure us of our infirmities, who alone can cleanse us from all sin.
