Cedar City President Wilford Woodruff Beloved Brother I received your letter calling me to go to California as a missionary. In reply will say I am not very well fixed financlaly and am poorly qualified for such a respon- sable calling.

Therefore with the help of the Lord, will report at the apointed ^time^ asking you for your faith and prayers in my behalf
