Hon. T. C. Durant,
Vice President of the Union Pacific Railroad. New York City.

Dear Sir:-

My grading on the U. P. R. R. has been completed, and the cars have run over it, for several months, but I have not yet received the final estimate of my work in Weber, nor of that beyond Bear River. There is a large balance, amounting to some three fourths of a Million Dollars yet due to me, and it becomes necessary that I receive my pay without further delay. Will you have the kindness to order it paid immediately.

Regretting the necessity of having to bring this to your notice, I remain Respectfully,

Brigham Young
