May 26. 1869.

Hon. Oliver Ames,
Prest. U. P. R. R.
Boston.

Sir:-

We find that the survey of our proposed line of Railroad from Ogden to Salt Lake City, will cross portions of a few quarter Sections of the land entered by the U. P. R. R. Co. known as the Sand ridge; and, we wish therefore to know, whether you will sell to us such quarter sections, and, if so, at how much per acre, or, should you prefer it, that portion only, of such quarter sections as the road may pass over.

Respectfully soliciting an answer at the earliest possible date.

I remain,
In behalf of the Utah Central R. R. Co.

Yours with respect
Brigham Young
