My Dear Father, Mother and Clara:
As I am owing you all letters perhaps
you will allow me to write an
excuse to you all. My dear ones if
I neglect your letters it is not because
I wish to but because business has
been crowding onto me so I could find
no time to attend to my correspondence.
It may be if you do not get a letter
for some time you begin to get anxious
so I want to tell you I am feeling
fine in the good work and do not
feel to complain of anything but make
good use of every moment during the
remainder of my time. Bro. Wilkins will
go home in April and you may look
out for me I think a few months
later. It would be a great pleasure to
me if I could accompany Prest. A. H.
Lund home but do not have any
idea when he will return to good,
old America or when I will get
my release. There is going to be a
great fair here in Berlin which will
in many ways almost equal the
Chicago Fair; it commences on the 1st
of may, I would like to get a glimpse
