Letter from Daniel T. Clayson, 29 March 1898

Payson, Wilford Woodruff. Dear brother I feel as though I would like you to extend my time till fall, as I am not very well prepared at the present time, to accept the call, but think I could get ready at as early a date as Dec. 1st or any time when convenient, either a month earlier or later. I am not very well prepared but with the help of the Lord, would^ill^ go ahead and do the best I can. It will be quite a task for me, to undertake in my present condition, although I think it will be a good thing. Have not been very closely connected with the spiritual welfare of this work I have been away from home
