Letter from Joseph Heber Larson, 13 July 1897

Mayfield, . Pres. Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City; Dear Brother: Some time ago I received a letter of inquiry from the Missionary Com- mittee of the Apostles, if I would take a mission to the Southern States. Contending influences have caused my delay in replying. I had hoped to continue attending the Academy as fast as circumstances would permit, for a number of years yet, and it seemed hard to give up the desire; however I am willing to and can be in cir- cumstances to take the mission in a year. Your Brother, Heber Larson
