I received a call as a missionary to
the Northern States in Jan. 1891
which I excepted with all cincerity
but during that winter I had a
sevear attack of the Inflamation
on the bowls as I reported to you
and your instructions was that I was
not expected to go at that date
and to take ample of time to recuperate
which I have done before reporting
myself. During the past two years
my health has not been as good as
it was before my Illness but pleased
to say I havent had no relaps but
have to be carefull what I eat.
I report my self as such and if my
sirveses asre kneeded I will (in my weakness
& inability in regard to ^the^ Gospel) be ready
by April next to try and fill my
Mission to the best of my ability
Plase let me know if you deem it
desirable and all necessary instructions,
In time for me to make my arangements
to have my Family taken care off
and raise the necessary means for my-
self like others have to work hard
to previde for my ^our^ Familys. Desiring
to make myself useful athes at home atand abroad in the Gospel of Crist
