Dear Bro,

Your note of the 2nd inst to President Young is to hand. We cannot at present tell with any certainty what the cost of passage from Great Britain will be this season, but most probably from $90 to $100, in Greenbacks for each grown person. The girl of 10 years old will be half price. The best way to send the money is to get a draft from this y office, in your favor, payable at the Liverpool Office. You can then endorse it as you see fit, either to apply on the passage of the persons sent for, or if you prefer it can be forwarded from Liverpool to Glasgow to Post Office order.

Yours respectfully

Geo. Reynolds
Clerk to Prest Young
