Fairview, Sanpete Co.

Dear Brother,

We have received the names of five heads of families, who have volunteered from your Ward to go to the Colorado.

These brethren had better arrange for some persons of their families to go down South on their behalf, and select and secure some land, and put in grain, etc., 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 where they shall settle.

I remain

Your Brother,
Brigham Young
