Bear Bro. and Sis. Colebrook,

Would it meet with your views and feelings for me to request your daughter Ellen, to practice reading and acting <a little> on the Stage at the Theatre: We are short of Ladies' help, and would like to have some of our young ladies practice that we may be supplied.

Your Brother,

Brigham Young
