Bro. Wilford Woodruff.

Dear Bro.

I received the notification
from you to see if I was
prepared to take a mission. I
have thought about it and
feel like doing what I can
for the spread of the gospel,
and shall prepare myself to
go if possible.

Please write and let me know
the date the elders will leave
Salt Lake City so that I will
know when to start from
home. Be kind enough also
to inform me the probable
cost ^of fare^ from your city to the
Islands so that I can work

to that end.

I remain,

Your Bro. in the gospel
