Utah Ty. G.S.L. City, March 7, 1861.

Mr. Sylvester Alvord,
Homer, Cortland County, New York,

Sir:-- I do not know any man, in this Territory, named Truman Alvord. There is a Benjamin and a Joseph Alvord here, and there may be others of that sir name, for which reason, and to further aid your wishes, I have inserted in the Deseret News an inquiry for your br. Truman. That paper has a very general circulation, and I presume that if your brother is in this country you will ere long be advised of the fact.

Brigham Young
