Dear Sir:

The Poster, two circulars and your letters of the 15th inst., came safely to hand, for which please accept my thanks, as I am much interested in all labor-saving improvements.

I agree with you in the many advantages arising from specific over combined machines, especially in reapers and mowers; and, as far as I can determine from the drawings and test, I think your machines should work very satisfactorily. Could you have one or more of each here in time for this season's haying and harvesting, it would expedite determining its merits, if not, I think well of your idea of having some here in time for next year's work. Our farmers are already pretty well supplied with reapers, mowers and thrashers.

As the encouragement for starting a manufactory for agricultural impliments here. I cannot at present advise you, for some of our skilled mechanics are now taking steps to supply home demand in various departments, and hope to extend their operations to exporting many articles to help our balance of trade.

Trusting that I may have all the pleasure of seeing your machines operating in our fields at an early date

I remain, Respectfully,

Brigham Young
