July 28, 1878, accompanied by my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Emma L. White, and Edith Donaldson, I left Oakland, Cal., for the East. On the way I spoke at Sacramento Sunday, to an attentive congregation, and the Lord gave me freedom in speaking to them from His word. Monday we again took the cars, stopping at Reno, Nevada, where I spoke Tuesday evening. {LS 235.2}

Den 28. juli, 1878, forlod jeg Orkland, Californien ledsaget af min svigerdatter, mrs. Emma L. White, og Edith Donaldson, for at rejse mod øststaterne. Undervejs talte jeg i Sacramento søndag, til en opmærksom forsamling, og Herren gav mig frihed til at tale til dem fra Sit ord. Om mandagen tog vi igen vognene, og stoppede i Reno, Nevada, hvor jeg talte tirsdag aften.
