Dear Brother:

Your favor of the 19th. inst. is at hand. Please inform John McCarthy, of Richmond that I have no objection to his being re-baptized.

Cap. Lot Smith and command are ordered to Bridger to guard the road between Green River and this City.

Just as the telegraph wire east had begun to get in working order again, it is reported that the wire has been cut just east of the Pacific Springs, said to have been done by Indians.

The Constitution and documents of the State of Deseret have been presented to Congress; in the House, on the 9th ult., by our Delegate; and in the Senate, on the 10th, by the Vice President, Hannibal Hamblin of Maine. Br's Hooper and Cannon have been admitted to seats on the floor of the House; and Senator Latham, of California, has made three efforts for their admission to seats on the floor of the Senate, but at our latest dates Latham's resolution had not been acted upon.

All's well.

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
