Ellen may not of advocated meat eating publicly but she she did consume her share of it and here is the proof. Christmas morning we all took breakfast together—James Cornell; Florence and Clara, their two girls; Brother and Sister Moore and their three children; Sister Bahler and Etta, a girl living with them; and Sister Daniells, our cook, Father, and myself. We had a quarter of venison cooked, and stuffing. It was as tender as a chicken. We all enjoyed it very much. There is plenty of venison in market. (Written December 26, 1878, from Denison, Texas, to Dear Family at Battle Creek--Willie, Mary, Aunt Mary, Edith, Addie and May, and Brother and Sister Sawyer.) —Manuscript Releases, Volume Fourteen, p. 318. Letter 23, 1878.

Letter 23, 1878. Thursday morning we arose from our births refreshed with sleep. At eight oclock we took a portion of the pressed chicken furnished us by the matron of the sanitarium, put the same in a two-quart pail, and placed it on the stove, and thus we had good hot chicken broth and enjoyed our breakfast. The morning was very cold and this hot dish was very palatable. —Ellens (Letter 6a, 1880) to Her Sister Elizabeth, Manuscript Release, Volume Eleven, page 142, paragraph 3. Chapter Title: Geographical descriptions and travel in the Western U. S. In 1882, when she was living at Healdsburg, California, she wrote a letter to her daughter-in-law, Mary Kelsey White, in Oakland, in which she included a shopping list of things to bring on their next visit to Mrs. Whites home. Among the things requested: Mary, if you can get me a good box of herrings, fresh ones, please do so. These last ones that Willie got are bitter and old. If you can buy cans, say, half a dozen cans, of good tomatoes, please do so. We shall need them. If you can get a few cans of good oysters, get them. —Letter 16, 1882.
