Messrs. Jno. J. Cisco & Son,
Bankers, 59 Wall Street New York City

Gentlemen:-

On the 29th January last I drew on you my Sight draft for $25000.00 wishing you to convert it into a sterling draft & remit to Albert Carrington Esq, 42 Islington, Liverpool, I subsequently received your favor of 13th ult, stating that you had remitted the sum as requested through Brown Bros & Co. in a draft of 60 days which rather surprised me, as I directed that the amount should be forwarded, and supposed you would do it without any delay whatever to arise from the wording of the Sterling draft. I am now informed by letter from Mr. Carrington this morning that he has received that draft, and it is drawn payable (Six Months after sight, which is more surprising to me. I wish to have all this matter made right as I never gave authority for any delay and wished to have the amt made payable at sight, and I wish you now to be so good as correct this matter immediately, and make it payable without any delay whatsoever, and oblige,

Very respectfully Yours,
Brigham Young
