Letter from Abraham Owen Woodruff, 17 March 1894
Prest. Wilford Woodruff
Dearest Father:
Your kind letter of the 1st recd. also one from
Sister's Blanche, & Clara, & two or three from friend
I feel highly honored to have you write me
letter on your 87th Birthday & will preserve it as
very dear keep sake. Am sorry you are so financ[ial]-
ly pressed & hope you will get relief. You shoul[d]
not let matters of private nature worry you as
they only ammount to a fiew hundred dollars
at the most & I am sure our family will be
willing to submit to reductions if it will rel-
ieve you any. It affords me great pleasure to
know ^from^ you that our Bishop is getting better & hop[e]
he may rapidly recover. I wrote to Ma & Woodie
last evening & hope Ma will not think I was
blue for I feel much better today. Have
been suffering a little from Rheaumatism in my
left arm & shoulder, but pleased to say it is al
right now. I contracted it from writing in a
room where there was no fire & I got quite
cold. You must have had a glorious party
Clara gave me an account of it & sent me
some cake, which I supppose is very fine & wi[ll]
sample it if you will be sure and save me
