My Dear Sir:

Your favor of July 27th, enclosing a Season Pass over the Union Pacific Rail Road, has been received.

I am much obliged to you for this mark of your remembrance and consideration. The good news you write about the rapid rate at which you are constructing the Road, is very gratifying. We watch its progress Westward with great interest, as every mile of track which is laid lessens the weary distance
which stretches on every side of us, and facilitates our communication with our neighbors in the East.

We were much pleased out here to hear of your appointment to the position of General Superintendent.

I remain,
Respectfully Yours &c.,
Brigham Young

Saml. B. Reed, Esq.
