Mr. James Street,

on the telegraph line west of Great Salt Lake City,

Dear Sir:-
No unlooked for accident intervening, we purpose starting, on or about the 23 inst., ox and mule teams with 1000 poles for the west and end of our portion to furnish, and expect to continue forwarding poles as rapidly as possible until all are furnished as per agreement.

The train starting about the 23 inst. will probably reach our western terminus about the 1st of September.

Should you wish any variation from the above, please inform me at once and oblige,

Respectfully,

Brigham Young
