Pres^t Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City, Utah,

Dear Brother,

Your letter of the 16^th Inst
Notifying me of an appointment to the
missionary field of Great Britton and
requesting, that I make arrangements
to start from Salt Lake City, Nov 4^th [18]93,
was handed me, last Evening.

In reply I would say, I fear it utterly
impossible for me to make arrangements
to have my business interests properly cared
for, during my absence, in so short a time.
My interests are varied and scattered.
I have an one half interest in a Lumber Yard
in Albuquerque, N. M. which has been looked
after, by my partner, a young man of ablility
but not of our faith. during these dull Times
collections have been slow, and I have permitted
him to borrow, from the Bank, Two Thousand Dollars,
