Letter to William Atkin, 18 October 1889
Salt Lake City, U. T. . Elder Wm. Atkin, Dear Brother: Your letter of Sept. 29th has been received, but I have had no chance to answer it until now. We are still overwhelmed with business almost day and night. I went south and spent three days at Deseret, and have returned. We are having meetings almost constantly on our City affairs and other matters. My health is about as usual, and my family are generally well. I am glad to hear that all is well with you. I expect to start next Monday for Canada, to be gone three or four weeks. All send love. Alice often speaks of you and the family, as does Emma. All wish to be remembered to you and your family. I am mglad that you are prospering in your wool business. We are beginning to have some heavy rains, and the weather has become quite cool. I have no time to write long letters today. I feel to say, God bless you and all pertaining to you. Your Brother, W. Woodruff
