Supt. Western Union Tel. Co.
Gt. Salt Lake City.

Dear Sir:

In ordering the materials needed for our Home Telegraph we omitted -- thinking that we would not need it -- to send for Sulphate of Cooper. Have you extra quantity on hand here that I could make an arrangement with you to purchase of the Company? If I could, I would like to obtain sufficient to help us out until we can get a supply. We also need some Ribbon paper, which if you have any to spare, I would also like to purchase.

Respectfully,

Brigham Young
