My drafts 1144 £32.0.9 and 1606 £14.4.0 have been returned and paid here.

The sender of my dft No 1700 wishes your Check on me for the <whole> amt, which she states has not been used, but was simply deposited with you. £21.8.7

The sender of my Dft No 1048 wishes payment thereof to be stopped. How is it about this dft! He says it was lost, and if was not lost but is still held, I dont know that you may be able to stop payment, unless you can obtain the draft.

I wish to know how your finances are situated now, and to learn how much you received from bro. Staines and how many were forwarded by you over the R Road of the U. P. on my individual account. &c &c.

We received a bundle of notes and a list of the persons sent, of those I ordered to be brought out, several days ago by the hand of bro Wilden, but no accompanying statement of the notes shewing the items of passages &c composing said notes respectively, which we should have in case my clerks are questioned, or the amounts on the notes are questioned.

It is absolutely necessary for you to spend no more money in assisting the poor <to emigrate &c> but now go to work and try to get out of debt, by collecting the tithing and by every means in your power to ease the burden which has come upon us in our finances,-- until further orders.

Your Brother,

Brigham Young
