Dear Bro:-

Yours of the 25th in relation to emigration has been received.

I cannot say definitely what Emigration rates will be this season. Our Agent will probably start east soon after the President's return. & when he makes the arrangements they will be duly published.

Last year the Emigrant fare from New York to Uintah was $51.50/100. And our Missionaries & others, if travelling in parties of 30, or more, paid $30.75/100 from Ogden to Omaha, and I presume the Co. will do the same now, but no definite price has been fixed for this season as yet. The fare from Liverpool to Ogden will be about Ninety dollars U.S. Currency.

Your Bro. in the Gospel.

P.S.
Enclosed please find Blank for Divorce for John Evans. your letter with accompanying $10.00 for <the> Bill has been received
