Elder Jacob Hamblin,-Dear Brother:-I would be much pleased to have you, as soon as possible, arrange to go or have some other suitable person go, with a few white men and Indians, and endeavour to recover the body of George A. Smith Jun., for which, if it can be done, I would not begrudge paying any reasonable amount, and for the delivery of the body in this city, which can be done while it remains cold weather.
