We report the results of a preliminary analysis of the W {r_arrow} e{nu} decays observed in 14 pb{sup {minus}1} of data taken during the Fermilab Tevatron Run l(a). After normalizing the mass scale to the Z mass measured at LEP, we find a value for the W mass of 79.86 {plus_minus} 0.16(stat) {plus_minus} 0.20(syst) {plus_minus} 0.31(scale) GeV. The method for extracting the W mass and the details of the error analysis are presented and discusses.
