Presdent Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother.
in answer to your
Letter I can say that I ^am^ willing
and more than willing to go
and fill a mission to the
Southern States, for I realize
that it is my duty and my
calling as ^A^ Seventy in the church
but on accont of Sickness
I have got deeply involved
and through some disapoint-
ments I have been unable to
get settled up and get off
at the time apointed. but
as soon as ^I^ can meet my
obligations I will be on hand,
and will let you know at my
earliest convenience when I can
go
