Letter from Abraham Owen Woodruff, 9 July 1894
Prest. W. Woodruff
Dearest Father:
Letters from yourself, Ma and Blanche, dated June ^19th^ 20th &
17th respectively were received with pleasure but I must
say there were some things in one of them which made
me feel bad and my ernest hope is that you
may be united in Family Children, and Parents, that
the spirit of happiness may dwell in every heart, in
our dear Home. Pa I wish to have a little talk
with you, get some counsil and lay: I may say some
plans for the future. Prehaps you can help me with
your influence to bring about some of my desires. After
I have told you what I should like then you may give
me your oppinion and counsel as to whether it is right
or not. Although my mission has only just begun I wish
to have a plan to work by. I would be very pleased
to have the priviledge to work in several places or
fields in our mission. It is my opinion that it is not
good for a Missionary to labor too long in one place
as a change is good for Elders as well as the people.
Therefore I shall name some places I should like to see
before my mission is completed; to give me a change
of fields as well as to see the different parts of
Germany. Would like very much to labor in Kiel either
this summer or next, Kiel is in the extreme north
of Germany. Another field I should like to work in for awhile
is Berlin, the Capital of Germany. Where brother McEwan now is.

P. S. The fleas I have here are not from Africa and don't take but little notice of camphor.
I will give it a therough trial however A. O.
