Letter from Lorin Asa Merrill, 13 April 1897

Logan, Utah, . President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: I received your call to take a mission to California on June 10th, and can say that I willingly respond to the call. I am willing to do all in my power to forward the work of the Lord on the Earth. I can arrange my affairs to start on the date mentioned, and if nothing happens to prevent, will be in Salt Lake City to be set apart on the date mentioned in the call. At present I am working in Logan, some distance from where my bishop resideds, and will therefore ask my father to endorse this answer. I think this will be all right with him, and trust it will be agreeable to yourself. Your Brother in the Gospel Lorin A. Merrill. M. W. Merrill
