Dear Brother:
It would afford me great pleasure to help yourself and many others of the faithful saints in Europe, were I in a position to do so. But I must meet my engagements to the brethren to whom I am in debt here, before I can think of helping others, or donating means to emigrate the poor from the nations of the earth.

Praying God to bless you, and open up your way to gather Zion

I remain, Your Brother in the Gospel
Brigham Young
