Dear Brother. In answer to your
favor of the 17th of Nov. in regard to
taking a mission to Switzerland & Germany Tuesday April 9th, 1889.
I would say that I consider it a holy
duty to respond to the call made upon
me and will use all the diligence that
is within my ability to be ready in time.
Thank you for your kindness giving
me plenty of time to make preparation
to leave home.
