Dear Brother:-

In view of the scarcity of grain & other essential products of the Country & and increased demand over past years, we are induced to write you specially on the subject of gathering in properly securing all such products due the Church on Tithing on P.E. F. Co. & Deseret News office indebtedness & on donations to the Missionary Fund, in your Ward.

To further the accomplishment of the end desired, you should visit every member of the Ward & learn the amount of grain stock, cash, Cotton &c raised & made & see that the tenth is duly paid in & if any one refuses to pay his proper Tithing in its kind it should, we think, be made a matter of fellowship.

We shall expect you to be punctual & energetic in all these matters as it will no longer do to evade duties & obligations of so much importance.

Your Brethren in the Gospel

Brigham Young
Heber C. Kimball
Daniel H Wells
