Letter from Abraham Owen Woodruff, 3 February 1896

[sideways text] No 3 [end of sideways text] Berlin, Feb. 3rd 1896: My Dear Father, Mother and Clara: As I am owing you all letters perhaps you will allow me to write an excuse to you all. My dear ones if I neglect your letters it is not because I wish to but because business has been crowding onto me so I could find no time to attend to my correspondence. It may be if you do not get a letter for some time you begin to get anxious so I want to tell you I am feeling fine in the good work and do not feel to complain of anything but make good use of every moment during the remainder of my time. Bro. Wilkins will go home in April and you may look out for me I think a few months later. It would be a great pleasure to me if I could accompany Prest. A. H. Lund home but do not have any idea when he will return to good, old America or when I will get my release. There is going to be a great fair here in Berlin which will in many ways almost equal the Chicago Fair; it commences on the 1st of may, I would like to get a glimpse
