Letter from Fredric C. Pectol, 13 May 1897
Caineville . Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: I received yours of April 5th. and owing to being absent from home have not been able to answer it before, but trust that I am not to late. There was no date mentioned in your letter as to when I should be there to depart on my mission to Eastern States. Whether I am to state the day I can be there or not I was not able to tell. I will be ready to depart on my mission any day in October that you may mention. Please let me know the day that I am to be there. Your Brother in the Gospel, Fredric C. Pectol. Walter E. Hanks Bishop
