to visit your sick daughter that I
had the pleasure of conversing with
you when you inquired about Willard's whereabouts and what he
was intending to do. I stated to
you his intention of fullfilling
his mission to the southern states
to which he had been called about
the time of his Fathers accident
and ^he^ had ^asked and^ received premission to ^after^
^his fathers death^ wait until spring. You replied
"I had forgotten it" and then
added Willard ought not to go
on that mission but ought to
take care of thing at home and
let you take the yonguer boys
where they can be in school.
You also said that if you could
bear it in mind until you
returned home that you would
write him to that effect.
