Dear Sir:

Your note to President Young is to hand. Permit me to say that most of the inhabitants of this Territory came here with a deep conviction, that in so doing they were acting in accordance with the requirements of Heaven. To such Utah is the best place in the world, but to those who simply desire to make money, there are many portions of the Union where wealth can be accumulated with greater ease and rapidity. I send by this mail a pamphlet relating to our faith and history which will give a much better idea of things and matters in these mountains than I could in one short note, as also of the leading doctrines which we believe God has revealed for our salvation and that of the whole <of> mankind if we and they will yield obedience thereto.

Praying God to bless you in your search for truth and lead you in the way of life Eternal.

I remain
Yours Respectfully,

Geo. Reynolds
Clerk to Prest Young
