Elders W.H. Ashton & F.T. Whitney

Dear Brethren
In reply to your letter of to day's date I will say I never counselled you to work stop working at the machine; what I told you was first to pay your debts and then provide for your families; and not to ring anybody else into the concern or use other people's money, and then if you choosed to go on with the work do it as time and circumstances would permit and at your own expense, And this is my advice to you still.

Your Brother in the Gospel
Brigham Young
