Try to induce some person who will be pleased to help improve a new Territory, to purchase a paper machine and bring it here. In this connection liberty is taken to refer said person to Mr. Nelson Gavit, 224 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Manufacturer of paper machinery of every description.

If required, concede to making meridian 115 Nevada's eastern boundary; and in efforts for the admission of Utah as a State, permit our state boundaries to be South either by latitude 39 - 30', or 39", west by meridian 115 east by either meridian 109 or 110, and north, if possible, by latitude 44; but in no event suffer boundaries to interfere with our admission, unless they undertake to run said boundary lines through Great Salt Lake City; and also concede, if necessary, to any name for our State that the majority may insist upon. In debating boundaries and names let them make the demands, and accede thereto in a manner that will make the most capital possible for our admission.
