Dear Brother:-

I wish you to send the bearer to the school of Theodore Curtis Jun, that he may be educated preparatory to entering a Telegraphic School to learn to become an operator.

Please get him a place to board in some of the families in your ward where he can do chores, and oblige

Yours in love,

Brigham Young

P. S. Tell Bro. Curtis to put him forward as quickly as possible.
