Dear Sir:-

I am unable to say that we should like Insurance offices established in our community for we believe that fires are much more frequent where property is insured; and there are eveil disposed persons who prey upon such companies causing a great deal of mischeif which in our humble opinion might be avoided.

Very respectfully
Brigham Young.
