Our family were all present in the mountains but our son Edson. My husband and children thought that as I was much worn, having labored almost constantly since the Oregon camp meeting, it was my privilege to rest; but my mind was impressed to attend the Eastern camp meetings, especially the one in Massachusetts. My prayer was that if it was the will of God for me to attend these meetings, my husband would consent to have me go. {4T 297.3}

Hele familien var til stede i bjergene, undtagen vor søn (298) Edson. Min mand og børn mente at jeg var meget træt, havde arbejdet uafbrudt siden Oregon lejrmødet, så var det mit privilegium at hvile; men jeg fik indprentet i mit sind at deltage i øststaternes lejrmøder, især det i Massachusetts. Min bøn var at hvis det var Guds vilje for mig at deltage i disse møder, ville min mand lade mig tage af sted.
