Prest. Wilford Woodruff Beloved Brother, Being very desirous of doing some Temple work and visiting my children in Cedar City also to attend the coming Pioneer Jubilee but being unable to do so on account of my circum- stances you will please pardon me for taking the liberty of asking if you could arrange it in some way for myself and wife (Aunt Ellen) to come to Salt Lake from El Paso, one way. Our children in Utah say they are unable ^at present^ to assist us both ways but hope to help us to return in the fall after the October Conference My eyesight is fast failing me, I can see out of one eye barely enough to write but unable to read. If you feel that I am worthy, I should very much appreciate an early answer With kindest love to yourself Presidents Cannon and Smith and the brethren of the quorum of the Twelve Apostles Praying that God will ever continue to bless you all in the future as He has in the past Your Bro in Christ Henry Lunt
