G. S. L. City, Oct. 2, 1861.

Br. Millen Atwood:-

Mr. Cook, Secretary for the mail company west, wishes some wood hauled to this city from Camp Floyd, by our return teams ox trains on their way in for more poles. He says Mr. Goodin, who has the wood in charge, will furnish planks, racks, or something to load the wood on, if the cattle can endure being loaded both ways, which I think very doubtful, considering the service required of them on feed and little and poor feed and bad water, scarce at that.

Should you conclude to it best to haul <any of> said wood, under the above named circumstances, the price and pay will be arranged for here.

Brigham Young
