S.L. City.

Dear Sir:-

Yours of 21st inst. also one of even date have been received.

As before stated, I regret that it is not in my power to make immediate payment of your A/c. against the Trustee in Trust; had I the money personally I would be pleased to advance it, but as you are well aware the failure of the U.P.R.R. Co. to pay up in money as agreed, has cramped nearly every person concerned.

I enclose you herewith the Trustee-in-Trust's note for Five thousand and twenty 27/100 dollars ($5020 27/100) payable five months after date, with interest as specified.

This is the shortest time I can make consistent with other obligations, still, if I find I can do better, I will do so,

Respectfully
Brigham Young
