Gt. Salt Lake City,
May 11th, 1866.

A. C. Bassett,
Assistant Sup't Western Union Tel. Co.

Dear Sir:

I would be pleased if you would inquire of Mr. Wade if he would like me to furnish another set of poles for your Line from this City, by the present traveled Stage route, to the mouth of Echo Kanyon -- 50 miles distant-- and have the Line changed from where it now runs, in the course of the Summer to the new Route. The advantages of such a change you are aware of.

The poles I will furnish and set up free of charge.

Respectfully,

Brigham Young
