Yours of 27th ult rec'd
this morning. It was quite
a suprise to me to be
called on a mission but
never-the-less I am willing
to fulfill the work best I am
able to. I have just left
the school room and there-fore
my money is some-what short
I have written my Father
to see if he is able to
send me. If he is not
it will be impossible for
me to leave at present but
will have to work another
year. I value this call very
highly and hope I will
be able to fulfill an honorable

mission I will let you
hear from again in a few
days as to wheather I
can go or not.
I have started on a four
year course of studies in
College and have been there only
one year. I would like very
well to finish my course
in school seeing I have
put one year on it if you
do not necessaryly have to use
me. I will be ready at
close of my School course
if that would be satisfactory
