Dear Sir:-

Having been adviced by Mr. Staines that you are <refitting &> painting a second class car for the U. C. R. R., & that you wish to know what lettering is to be placed upon it, I write to inform you that the words "Utah Central Rail Road." should be written in a bold, legible character, where the name of the Road is usually painted. It will not be necessary for you to put the No upon it, as that will be done here.

As we are much in need of this car, anything you can do to facilitate its completion at the earliest possible date will be highly appreciated.

Yours with respect

Brigham Young
Prest. U. C. R. R.
