Mr. J. Alonzo Miller,
Lewiston, Idaho Territory.

Sir

Many cattle have already been sold in Utah to be driven elsewhere, and the prospect now is that the railroad from the east will more than require the remaining surplus. I presume it would be difficult at present to either sell horses here for money or exchange them for neat stock, though in this

I may not be fully advised.
Respectfully.

Brigham Young
