Dear Bro:

Mr. John C. Clowes is intending to keep a school for the teaching of Telegraphy. It will be held four nights a week, and as you have made some progress in the acquirement of the art, we would like you to attend this school, and be as prompt as possible in your attendance, and perfect yourself in this business, so that when our Home Line is finished, you will be qualified to operate thereon.

Your Brother,
Brigham Young
