Your letter of Nov fourth, came to hand yesterday.
I can say, in response, that I feel perfectly willing to
perform the labor assigned to me. I am now preparing
to leave the Academy for which I regret having to do, but
feel that I will be greatly benefitted by performing a mission
together with others of my brethren. I feel to honor the call
and will make preparations to go at the appointed time.
I all my arrangements are completed I will start
for my home in Tooele on Tuesday. Not wishing to add anything
further. I await the time.
