致A.T.罗宾逊长老
亲爱的罗宾逊弟兄：
应我们的要求，伯登弟兄同意访问我们的人在中西部的重要集会，并且努力为我们加利福尼亚州南部的一些疗养院获得捐赠或贷款。我们希望他无论何往，都能有机会讲道并介绍天堂谷疗养院和洛马林达疗养院的需要。我们在这两个地方需要帮助。在洛马林达和天堂谷都必需给主楼加建浴室。这已使我们负上必须很快偿还的债务，我们需要经济援助。{PC 285.3}
在洛马林达，一所学校正在培训医疗布道士，我们希望这所学校具有最高的等次。疗养院和学校可以彼此帮助。{PC 285.4}
伯登长老感到切愿疗养院工作能够按照正确的路线前进。他和伯登姐妹已倾注了他们的全部心血，努力使在洛马林达的工作取得成功。 他们已将他们能省下的所有的钱财都投进了这个机构以保持事业前进。我们对伯登弟兄的正直有极大的信心，而且没有理由怀疑主拣选了他担任洛马林达疗养院的经理。{PC 286.1}
罗宾逊弟兄，你愿意帮助伯登弟兄完成他对这些机构的使命吗?你可以把他介绍给我们一些有钱财的弟兄，或者允许他在我们百姓的集会上讲话，在你们的区会筹集捐款或借款。我们相信我们在内布拉斯加州的弟兄们能帮助减轻这两个疗养院现有的资金压力，这两个机构是主天意的安排放在我们手中的。{PC 286.2}

Elder A. T. Robinson
Dear Brother Robinson,
At our request Brother Burden has consented to visit important gatherings of our people in the Middle West, and to endeavor to secure gifts or loans for some of our Southern California Sanitariums. We desire that wherever he goes, he may be given opportunity to present the word and needs of the Paradise Valley Sanitarium and the Loma Linda Sanitarium. We need help in both these places. Both at Loma Linda and at Paradise Valley it has been necessary to build additions to the main building for bathrooms. This has left us with debts that must be met shortly, and we greatly need financial assistance.?{PC 285.3}
At Loma Linda, a school is being conducted for the training of medical missionary evangelists, and we want this school to be of the highest order. Both the sanitarium?and the school can be a help one to the other.?{PC 285.4}
Elder Burden has felt an earnest interest in the advancement of the sanitarium work along right lines. He and Sister Burden have put their whole soul into an effort to make the work at Loma Linda a success. They have put into the institution all the means they could spare to keep the enterprise moving. We have the utmost confidence in the integrity of Brother Burden, and have no reason to doubt that the Lord selected him as the manager of the Loma Linda Sanitarium.?{PC 286.1}
Will you, Brother Robinson, assist Brother Burden in his mission in behalf of these institutions? You may introduce him to some of our loyal brethren who have means, or you may permit him to speak before gatherings of our people, and raise donations or loans in your conference. We trust that our brethren in Nebraska may be able to assist in relieving the pressure for means that exists at present in these two sanitariums that the Lord has providentially placed in our hands. -?{PC 286.2}
