Women as Physicians
91
After I reach home, I will write you again and send you copies of
things I have already written.
An expensive building has been rented in Iowa Circle, Washington
[D. C.]. It is a beautiful location for a sanitarium and has been fitted
up for the giving of treatment, but it needs a house physician and a
manager. We need you. We believe that you can help us in Washington.
You can give the nurses the instruction that they need and can also give
lectures in the parlor to the patients. Will you receive this invitation as
prompted by the Lord? I have an assurance that you can do the work
essential. Brother Hare is an excellent physician, but not a manager.
We need someone who can plan and manage. You can help us out
of our difficulty. Washington is a most important place, and a right
representation of our work must be given by the sanitarium.
I shall be in St. Helena, California, next week. Write to me there,
and please write also to Elder Daniells, Takoma Park, Washington,
D.C.—

Dr. Julia A. White: Dear Sister,
I write to urge you to connect with our sanitarium work at Loma
Linda. In the providence of God, this property has passed into our
hands. The securing of this sanitarium, thoroughly equipped and
furnished, is one of the most wonderful providences that the Lord has
opened before us. It is difficult to comprehend all that this transaction
means to us.
The Lord has signified that the time has come for us to work
Redlands, San Bernardino, Riverside, and the neighboring towns. I
am filled with a solemn joy at the thought that these places are soon to
be entered by our workers.
We need your services, my sister, just as soon as you can come. We
are hoping that we may secure the services also of Dr. Holden. Sister
