G.J. Marsh,
Willard,

Dear Pres:

Yours of the 4th inst. about a Swede wishing our aid to bring out his family, has come to hand.

We are willing to accommodate him so far as lays in our power, although we are not in the business of Public Emigrating agents.

Let him forward his money to this Office with good security for the balance required (say not less than $200 more) and we will take measures to have his family brought out on the terms proposed.

Yours in the Gospel
Brigham Young
