Letter from James Ingebretsen, 3 June 1897

Ogden, Utah, To Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Utah D[e]ar Bro. On June 2 through the Secretary of the Missionary Committee I received a letter assigning me a mission to the Eastern States requesting that I be prepared to leave by Nov 25 [18]97. An affirmative reply being entirely in accord with the views of my parents and as there are no reasonable obstacles appearing at present I am pleased to inform you that should no unforseen occurance during the interim intervene I will leave on the appointed date. It has been among the foremost desires of my life to assist in promulgating the doctrines of our faith. That I may be successful is my sincere hope. Should you desire to communicate with me further address. Yours Respectfully Jas Ingebretsen 360 18 st. Ogden B White Bp. 3rd ward.
