You [R. A. Underwood] have many valuable qualifications that should be perfected to do highest service in the cause of God. . . .
I have nothing, nothing but kindness and love in my heart toward you. I long for perfect harmony with my brethren, but I must do the work that God has given me to do, even if it separates me from my brethren and friends.--Letter 22, 1889. (To R. A. Underwood, January 18, 1889.) White Estate Washington, D. C. April 2, 1980
