Elder F.W. Young,
Bear River, Box Elder Co., U.T.

Dear Nephew:

Your letter of August 20th reached me this morning, also a note signed by Bro.'s Howell & Campbell for Three Hundred and Seventy-five Dollars ($375.00) which you wish me to collect and credit to your account. When this note is paid I will place the credit as you desire.

The property which you propose to let me have in Clarkston, I would have no use for, if I were to take it. It would be of no benefit to me. I have no property at Payson that I care about trading off.

The better way for you will be to keep the <land you have> and attend to it. By attending to it, you will have more satisfaction and profit as a result of your labors than you will be likely to have by moving to Payson or other places.

With love I remain Your Uncle,

Brigham Young
