Heber City April, 21, 1893.

Pres Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City,

Dear Brother,

I received your letter
of the 14th, in reply will say: I will try in my weak
way to comply with the request. Trusting in the Lord
to aid me in his work. My father would very mutch
like me to go to England that I may perhaps get to
labor among our relations and gather some geneology.
I would perrefer to comply with the call and
fulfill my mission and spend five or six months in
England afterwards either as a missionary or a visitor if I
could get to go and come as a missionary. I would like
to pay our relations a visit. But I do not wish in
the least to intefere with the Work of the Lord or the
wishes of His servants. Your Brother in the Gospel.
John W. Crook.

Henry Clegg Bp

He may just as well go to England,
at once and fill his mission there,
as we are needing Elders for that
mission. J. F. S.
