President Woodruff Dear Br
I will say that I have ben preparing
and getting ready for the mission
that I have ben called to fill. and for
I have neglected to answer yours of the
16 of Jan. in my forme letter ^to^ Br Reynolds
I stated that I would be ready to start
the 15 of Feb he said it was desired that
I should start the 20 with a number of
Elders that would start that day.
I will be read at the appointed time
your Brother in the Gospel
