Dear Brother:

Yours of the 20th is to hand. Yourself and br. Spilsbury, and all others who may wish to, without interfering with cropping and home protection, are at liberty to come and work on my railroad contract; and it will be best for you to bring what teams you will want to use in your work, also picks, shovels, stone hammers, scrapers, plows, wheelbarrows and carts, so far as you have them or can handily get them there, which will save your paying out that much money. There will soon be a plenty of all those articles here, but they will ask money for them.

Your Brother in the Gospel,
Brigham Young
