Elder Wm H. Miles,

Dear Brother:

As you are about to return East to your field of labor and will probably call at St. Louis, I hand you herewith a letter addressed to Elder L. D. Rudd who is laboring there. He informs me that he has collected some money tithing, and he wishes to know what he shall do with it. In my letter to him I have directed him to pay it over into your hands. I wish you to keep it until we send an agent to New York when you will please pay it over to him to the credit of the Trustee in Trust.

With love, and praying the Lord to bless and preserve you on your journey, and to grant unto you every righteous desire of your heart

I remain
Your Brother

Brigham Young

P. S.
We have appointed Elder John Brown, one of the missionaries sent out last Spring to labor in the States, to preside over the elders laboring in the ministry and the various branches of the Church west in the States west and south of Philadelphia, and we expect the Elders to report to him
