August 12. 1869.

Mr. P. F. Castleman,
Boise City, Idaho.

Dear Sir:-

Yours of the 4th has been received. I was pleased with its tone and spirit & I will endeavor to answer it with like candour.

We have had horse trainers here before, plenty of them, though I never heard of any of them meeting with very great success.

Possibly it might pay you to come this way, but I very much doubt it & I would therefore advise you, at least while the times are so very dull, to postpone your visit to this Territory.

Yours with Respect

Brigham Young
