Sir:-
Your communication to me of the 11th. inst. in which you inquire whether or not there is any Cotton Seed for sale at Salt Lake City has been received.

I am not aware of any Cotton seed for sale here. and I know that the Settlers in Southern Utah are themselves importing Cotton Seed from the Southern States this year which would seem to indicate, either, that they are out of it, or, that they wish an article superior to what they now have.

Your with respect
Brigham Young
