Edwin Taggart Esq.
Assistant Assessor.

Sir:-- I am in receipt of Blank Form 24 which requires a return of income for the year ending Dec 31. 1870., and beg leave to say that I have made diligent examination of the facts, and cannot find that any of the free donations of tithes &c received by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been used in any way so as to produce any income whatever for the year aforesaid, and I am therefore unable to make out any return of income for said Church for said year

Respectfully,

Brigham Young
Trustee in Trust for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
