President's Office,
Salt Lake City,
April 20. 1868.

Bp C. Peterson,
Ephraim,

Yours of 15th inst is received. The money for Willardson was duly received. We would like to get list of donors of all the Cash sent to this office as soon as possible -- balancing or agreeing with the amount sent, which it will do when correct-- & when you send more, you can send another such list, as often as you have more to send. In relation to nominating persons to come from Europe it is a privilege extended to those who donate in sufficient amounts, but your names should not overrun the money donated, but rather under, leaving it in the power of the President to use a portion for the old & faithful members who may have no one here to nominate them. Your nominations are too many.

Your brother in the Gospel

T. W. Ellerbeck
