President Willford Woodruff

Dear Brother

I rec^d your letter dies-
ireing to know if I could be ready
by the first of August to start on a
mission to New Zeland.

My reply is that I can be
ready by that time, as far as
I know at present.

My first desire is to comply
with every wish made of me
by the Holy Priesthood.

I trust that by the aid
and influence of the Spirit of
God that I will be able to do much
good.

May the choicest blessings
of heaven rest upon you.

I remain your servant in the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
