Miles Williams,

Dear Bro.:-Yours of even date received. The mill weighs about 15,000 lbs. and the wagon transportation will be about one hundred miles; for this I will allow you one dollar per hundred which will be one hundred and fifty dollars. The setting and housing belongs to the renter; but I would suggest that you set the mill this fall. I am willing to contribute my share of the first 10,000 ft. of lumber sawed for the purpose of housing the mill

Brigham Young
