Dear Bro. Your letter about sending money to your parents in England has just reached me; the object is praiseworthy and commendable.

25 dollars in gold is about 5 pounds sterling. To send 5 pounds would require 35 dollars in green-backs; or 7 dollars for every pound.

Your brother in the gospel.
Brigham Young
