Dear Sir
The great majority of the people of Utah, have gathered here for the sake of their Faith and the association of their co-religionists Those who come here with other motives are generally disappointed, as there are other portions of the country in which money can be made with much greater ease than in
these mountains. At the same time, all good citizens are welcome, in coming and taking their chances of making a living, but just at the present time business is very dull, and it would be folly for me to hold out
inducements to bring you here, which on your arrival you could not realize.

Very Respectfully Yours
Geo. Reynolds
Clerk to Prest Young
