G.S.L. City, May 24. 1860.

Mrs. Eliza Jane Barnum,
Claremont, Fayette Co., Iowa,

Your letter of inquiry, bearing date April 4, is at hand, and from all I have been able to learn your father died several years ago; when and where I am not informed. I am also told that your brother George left this Church some time ago, and that your sister Caroline married Eleazar King who is now living in Fort Ephraim, Sanpete Co., Utah Territory. I presume that by writing to your sister Caroline you will be able to learn such further particulars as you may wish, in addition to the few I have been able to glean and now forward as above.

Regretting that I can furnish you no farther information upon subjects so near and dear to you, I am,

Very Respectfully,

Brigham Young

P.S.
Should you write to your sister Caroline, direct to Mrs. Eleazar King, Fort Ephraim, Sanpete Co., Utah Territory.
B.Y.
