Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 10th instant, on the subject of investing in a line of steamers on the Colorado River, has been received.

The business may prove a very profitable one; but I do not wish to engage in it. We have so many labors devolving upon us here, and so many uses for means, which if invested, will bring immediate and beneficial results to myself and the people here that I have no desire to invest in property on the Colorado

Respectfully,
Brigham Young
