Bishop Allen Weekes,
Cedar Valley Fort,

Dear Brother,

We have received the names of four persons from your Ward who have volunteered to go to the Colorado.

These brethren had better arrange for some persons of their number to go down South on their behalf and select and secure some land, and put in grain, &c., right away, that they may have something provided to sustain their families when they shall go down. When they reach St. George, they should report themselves to Bro. Erastus Snow, who will counsel them as to the point at which they should settle.

Your Brother,

Brigham Young
