Dear Brother:

This morning I telegraphed to Elder Horace S. Eldredge, Liverpool, to forward to you immediately the stereotype plates and blocks of the book of Mormon, as it is our intention to publish an edition of that work in this city. You will please take charge of them on their arrival at New York, and have them forwarded by some reliable elder to this city or bring them with you yourself. If they do not reach New York at the time of your departure from that city, please make arrangements with whoever you deem best to have them received, the duty paid, packed with care and then forwarded without delay to GOC in care of H.B.Clawson Zions Co-operative Mercantile Institution, Salt Lake City.

Your Brother in the Gospel.
Brigham Young
