Dear Bro: My draft No. 1212 dated March 2/68 for £8.19.3 is to the credit of William Walters in your office. In as much as he can not be found, his father Jas. F. Walters, wishes to transfer that credit to Catharine Lewis age 49, Henry Lewis age 12, Ruth Lewis, age 10, Catharine Lewis age 8, Christiana Lewis age 6, Maria Lewis, age 4. Victoria Branch, Monmouth Conf. South Wales. Phillip Lewis, of Millcreek, and husband of Cath Lewis, has paid into my office Ninety Dollars in Cash, and having worked on the Utah Central R.R, here, I wish you to emigrate the above family this season, if you have the means to do so.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
