Dear Sir:-

Yours of the 15th inst has been received.

In my judgment you will find it much to your advantage to drive Stock from Iowa, in preference to purchasing in this Territory as Stock is scarce here & the prices are consequently very high.

One.--Two.--& Three year old scarce to find at $15. $25. & $35. respectively.

Yours with respect
Brigham Young
