Dear Brother:
I received word from you Dec. 29th. tell- ing me to be ready to leave Salt Lake City as early as Sept 12, 1896 for a mission to the Southern States.
If it meets your ap- proval, my circumstances are such that I would rather leave as soon as

school is out, June 5, 1896, or as soon after as you say. Please let me know by return mail that I may work accordingly.
My home is in Franklin, Idaho, but I am now at- tending school in Logan.
Direct the letter to Logan.
Your Brother in the Gospel,
Jos. S. Parkinson.
