Dear Son:-

I wrote you at length a few days ago, under date of Feb. 27th, which I hope you will receive in due course of mail. I now write some items of business connected with the emigration. Should you be in possession of funds that you can spare, I would like you to send out the following persons this Spring with our emigration: 

James Ladle, wife and two children, Wretham, Norwich Conference,

Ann Towlson, care of James Wilkins, Hyson | Green Nottingham Conference. | Wm. Frisby, wife and five children, 21 James Street, St Pauls Square Birmingham,

Henry Eckmann and family (consisting of three persons over fifteen years, and five the eldest of which is ten years of age making eight in all) of Christiania, Norway. 

Bro. George Q. has commenced the publicasion of a childs' paper, the "Juvenile Instructor" which is to be an illustrated periodical and published semi-weekly. He wishes to purchase suitable second-hand wood cuts that will not be sectarian in their character, and that will illustrate interesting subjects, which can be written upon in simple style for our children; and he has an idea that they <can> be bought at reasonable rates in England, and large assortments to select from be found in the hands of wood engravers there. There are doubtless <houses> in London which have large stocks of these cuts, which they sell at reduced rates. If you could buy them, they might be sent on by some of the Elders who are returning. Probably some of the brethren might be acquainted with such things, and be able to buy to advantage. The cuts ought not to be two large, the largest not more than seven inches long and 5½ or 6 inches wide, and varying in size from that down to small cuts. When you purchase you can send on the invoice for payment here.

We are aware that we are in debt to the office in Liverpool, having been drawing heavily upon you, and we are anxious to pay up and do what we can to help. I drew a draft on New York, and sent by your brother John W. for a sufficient amount to cover the deficiency in the Liverpool Office, which I presume he has advised you of.

Do not be discouraged; but be cheerful and hopeful. You will be competent to every duty, if you will only put your trust in God.

With love to yourself and family, and John W. and all the brethren, and praying the Lord to bless and uphold you.

I remain
Your Father,

Brigham Young
