Dear Sir,

I wish you to purchase the following Bill of articles for Jos. Young for which he has deposited the money with me.  They should be packed in one parcel, together, and marked to him, viz.

4 Bolts Pea Green Paper

30 yds Crimson Cotton  Velvet

24  " Red Worsted Bullion Fringe

6 Window Curtains, Painted on Canvas, each 9 ft long

4 ½ ft wide, ready for hanging-- in the Hall.

Means-- deposited $47.00 which will be forwarded to you probably the 1st March.

I wish you to render Mrs. Russell what assistance she may need to come to the valley comfortably.  She will apply to you for this purpose.  She is the widow of Father Russell from England who died here.

We shall send some few <four> mule teams and wagons to aid in bringing on the goods, to start about 1st May.  D. H. Wells, H. C. Kimball each one and F. Little and myself three or four more.

Your friend &c
