Dear Brother:

Shortly before the departure of bro. Geo. Stringfellow to visit his friends in England, I asked him, if he and his brother would emigrate a family of poor saints from Europe should I request them to do so. He told me he thought he would. My reason for writing you on this subject is, that I now desire them to bring out a family of saints, -- to whom it will prove a great blessing, -- if they are willing to do so. The family consists of William Woolcock, his wife and six children, the ages of the latter ranging from 3 to 19
years. Their address is William Woolcock, Near the Rising Sun Inn, Briery Hill Ebbw Vale Monmouthshire

Please write to bro Stringfellow and acquaint him with my desires. The address he left with me is Geo. Stringfellow Sutton on Ashfield, Nottinghamshire

With love to yourself and the Elders under your watch care, and praying that the blessing of the Lord may continue with you in all your labors

I remain, Your brother
Brigham Young
