Dear Sir:-

Your favor of the 22 Ult. has been received. I have heard of your treatise on Polygamy but know nothing of its merits. Of the gentlemen mentioned in your letter, -- Messrs Staines & Naisbitt are in the East, & I have had no opportunity of speaking with the others on the subject; I will inquire however, but, in the meantime, permit me to suggest that in no part of Christendom has the subject of Polygamy been already more thoroughly ventilated than in Utah Territory. At the same time, you may have additional views & more extended argument on this subject, which, so far as correct we would be pleased to become acquainted with, & with this object I shall read your book with some interest.

Send me a copy and I will remit the price upon receipt.

Yours with respect
