Mr. James T. Gardner
U.S. Geological Exploration 40th Parallel,
Washington City, D.C.

My Dear Sir:-

Your kind favor to me of 28th ult, came duly to hand, and our Mr. Ericzon was instructed to make the desired maps, which will be forwarded, I trust in a very few days.

President Young is now absent in the southern settlements, but your wishes will be attended to without delay, (the promise made to you, having, in the multitude of our duties, been overlooked) and I trust that they will be received in time for your purpose.

I cannot thank you too sincerely for your expressions towards us as a people at this time, and assure you if there is anything further in which we can serve you, it will be a pleasure to do it.

Yours Truly,
T.W. Ellerbeck
