Pres George Q. Cannon,
42 Islington, Liverpool, England,

Dear Brother:--

You will learn the present home news from my accompanying letter to brs. Amasa and Charles.

I have drawn upon you draft No 195, for L2-0-0, favor of Sarah Murray, Regent St., Stone house, near Strand, Gloucestershire, England.

I have instructed br. William H. Hooper to deposit some $40,000,000/100 more or less, with you to credit of Trustee in Trust. The knowledge of the last named item I wish strictly confined to yourself alone, so far as Office business will permit, and instruct the clerks accordingly, as otherwise it might cause mistaken impressions and a consequent flood of applications for assistance. I will, from time to time, direct the disbursement of the aforesaid amount, should be. Hooper succeed in making the deposit as advised.

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
