Great Salt Lake City
February 14th, 1866.

Messrs. Kountz Brothers,
Omaha,

Gentlemen:-

On the 10th January, 1865, Jos. W. Young mailed you Holladay and Halsey's draft no. 403, for $1575, upon Ben Holladay, New York, and I telegraphed Ben Holladay, on the 18th of the same month, to pay said draft, in advance of its receipt, to Drexel, Winthrop & Co., New York, on your account. It now appears from Mr Holladay's account that he has charged the amount twice, the telegraphic request and the draft. Did you send the draft east for collection, or how did you dispose of it?

Yours Respectfully
Brigham Young
