Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Dear Brother: Your letter of Sept. 27th, calling me on a miss- ion to Colorado, reached me the next day. I answered the letter the same day, but as my Bishop lives eighty five miles from Provo, I had to send it home, first, to be indorsed. Somehow, my letter was delaid for three or four days; consequently my answer to the call was not sent when I reached home.
