Letter from Abraham Owen Woodruff, 30 March 1896

Owen to Father {shorthand} on his release No 110 [end of sideways text] Berlin . Prest.

He said he would send me my release when I desired it and felt bad that his plans & mine had all been knocked sky high. His explaination for this queer move should have been a letter from Prest.

If you Pa are ill and desire me to accept such an "asked for release" I shall accept it but nothing else under heaven would tempt me to do so. If you wished me released on my account I will say & pledge you my honor that
