Letter from Albert William Winkler, 25 January 1894

Mt. Pleasant President Wilford Woodruff: Salt Lake City Dear Bro. I received your letter Asking me to go on a mission Thanking you for the honor. If there will be any elders going to Switzerland & Germany a month or two later than march 3rd It would be more conveniant for me to wait till then, as I have lo[a]ned to a new flour mill here all the money I had. And as they are a new ferm they are very crowded, and say they can hardly get it so soon. As for my self I am ready as soon as I can get the money.
