Ans [Aug] 16 [18]89 Paris Aug 8th 1889 President, Wilfred Woodruff Dear Brother, I write these few line to you in behalf of my boy Alvin who is very sick with hay Asthma. Both of us very much desire that his name should be remembered in the prayer circle where you meet. He has been very low for the past three weeks, & I fear unless he has a change for the better, he will not live. He is a good young man, and desires to live in the earth to do good, and if it is not out of place, will you be kind enough to grant our request
