Dear Brethren:
Your letter of the 6th inst just
recieved. I am willing to take the Sunday School
normal course at the B. Y. Academy if after a
brief explanation you advise that I do so.
On Dec 13th 1893 I recieved a letter from you
calling me on a mission to Great Britian. upon
the advice of Bishop Page. I wrote, explaining to
you that I was mixed up in a former partnership
and that it would take some ^time^ to straighten matters
up. under date of Dec 23rd, you wrote me, saying
you were willing to grant me sufficient time
to straighten up the business referred to, and the
letter ended thus "And they (the committee of apostles)
will await your notice to them of your readiness
