Brother Canright, The Review will tell of our future plans. We shall depend on you to help us at Monterey next Sabbath and Sunday, at the Spring Arbor Camp Meeting at the Lapeer Dedication and at the Alma Camp Meeting. Then we hope you can join us in our labors east. There will be efforts made to get you to Wisconsin to have you go here and there with a Tent. But I think we should labor in poor deserted New England. I hope you will finally see your way clear to fully relieve wife of the burden you have laid upon her in stating to her your want of faith in her your want of faith in her work. I fear you have in too strong terms stated the unbelief of Lucretia. God is in this work. God has worked for and with you. Let us mend and not throw away the past. I think wife has been more severe than the Lord really required her to be in some cases. Satan has taken great advantage. I hope we shall all see our way out clear and be able to labor in union. Please see the place you hold her, in your statements made in your unbelief which you have not modified. She could hardly feel free to join with you without something on your part to help her feelings. She makes no demands of you in this matter. I speak of them without her knowledge. She is feeble, and must be treated tenderly, or she can do nothing. Elders Butler and Haskell have had an influence on her that I hope to see broken. It has nearly ruined her. These men must not be suffered by our people to do as they have done until all our ministers are fully discouraged. Young men are kept out of the ministry by their narrow and blind course. I want you to unite with me, and in proper manner, and in the fear of God let us help matters. It is time there was a change in the officers of the General Conference. I trust that if we are true and faithful the Lord will be pleased that we should constitute true of that board. But when I see you we can talk these matters over more fully. I hope to hear from you at once. James White
