have on earth belongs to that
God who gave me Light I feel

it is on the olter, and at his
disposel, and ^in^ concsideration of the
duty I owe to God and man

call if permitted to Live

Dear Bro.
I received your
unexpected letter Sunday 18th,
which took me on sur[p]rize
After considering my s[irc]umstances
I think they are favo[r]able.
I have a wife and two
children the youngest over three
years old. We are in pretty
good sircumstances considering
and out of debt, but as
far as money to take me
on my mission I will
haft to borrow.
I am willing to do that if
requ^i^red realizing that with
out sacrifice there is no blessing

Letter to Lucy Emily Woodruff, 20 October 1891
Salt Lake City, U. T.
Miss Lucy Woodruff
My Dear grand Daughter
I received
your Note marked Private And I felt other
ready it it was my Duty to write you a
Note at least sufficient to explain one thing
ie. concerning what I said to you about going
to Susans the reason that I advised you not
to go was I thought it as likely as not. you
might be in the midst of Death & a funeral
and it would be a vary unplesant visit,
but you a great Deal more that it was worth
I think. the amout of money spent that way would
have Done you a great Deal more good
spent some other Way it was not because I
did not think you quite as Worthy as she
was, in fact I consider you both vary worthy
Daughters of Zion and I would be Willing to do
any thing I could for either of you
