President Wooduff.
Dear Brother:
Your communication, bearing
date of the 10th inst, came to hand
just eight days before the time
of my intended departure for the
east, to pursue the study of the
law, in the university of Michigan.
While, for several years, I
have been planing for the accomplish-
ment of this, the great desire of
my heart; and had succeeded, finally,
in surmounting every apparent ob-
stacle of any consequence; had ob-
tained the consent of all parties who
were interested; had secured the
financial requisites; and a free
pass on the R.R. to Chicago, I feel
like sacrificing all of these fond

anticipations, that have given me
much pleasure, of late; and subjecting
myself to the will of my Heavenly
Father, fimly believing that all
will be well in the future.
My answer, therefore, is this:
I shall go, and shall be in the city
in time to start for my field of labor
on the 12th of next month.
With your permission, which I
obtained while you were attending
the dedication of the Bear Lake Stake
Tabernackle, I have decided to have
my wife accompany me on my mission;
and am making arangements to that
end.
Ever praying for the success, and
final triumph of the plan of
salvation,
