"The sanitarium had purchased the place [Elmshaven] in order to secure all the water of a large spring belonging to it; and after retaining the spring, also five acres of land for the food factory, and ten acres for other purposes, they wished to sell me the remainder comprising fifty-five acres of land, with the house, an old cottage, stables, horses, carriages, farm implements, for a sum less than I received from my home in Cooranbong."
