Letter to Emma Smith Woodruff, 14 January 1884
S. L. City
My Dear Emma
In order to be in
fashion I am called on a Mission
I cannot say whare now but I
shall keep you advised. As circumstances
to day Deprive me of home office & clerks
you must try to make out my own
scrall. I should have been much
pleased to have had an interview with
you before I left but I do not Expect to
be Able to. I had rather be a free man
any whare than to be in the hands of my
Enemies any communication you wish
to make to me within two days if given
to Orion will Reach me I would like
Asahels last Letter before I leave you
keep Henrys & Nellies letters I have told
I hope Clara will do well in school
and not get her mind more than
she can help on any thing Els I see
Asahel is located in London in
his last Letter I think He will have
a pleasanter field to work in I
think in the spring Azmon had
better stay the best He can untill
Henry comes after him
Ever Yours Affectionately
W Woodruff
I shall take a copy of your family
likenesses with me
