Dear Brother: The inferior quality of most of the oil now imported into this Territory and the inflamability of the so called non-explosive burning fluids cause me to desire a quality of oil that I can burn in my house and office with comfort and safety; you will, therefore, please order for me, from the East, a bbl, of the safest and best illuminating oil that can be obtained, and oblige

Your Brother:
Brigham Young
