President Woodruff.

Dear brother First beginnigng by wishing
you an happy new year, good health and prosperity
I conclude by saying that I am an old bachelor
deaf from my birth and now sick from rupture of
the bowels and other sickness inherent from it and from
other causes so that I am incapacited from earning
my own sustenance partially although able to work at
odd times. Now the voice of the Spirit was telling
me that I should go into the Temple to get my
healing and forgiveness of my sins. I felt some doubts
about going and the voice tolld me to writte to you as
you are the Lord's anointed Prophet & Seer, & that
you would tell me through the Lord what I should
do. Therefore I shall await your answer & remain
most respectfully your humble brother in the Gospel
of Christ.
