Dear bro.-

Elijah Fordham deeded lot 5 on Willow Creek Plat, Box Elder for $500.00 to B. Young,Trustee in Trust, April 21, 1853. containg 50 acres. I wish you to please look at the County Records, and see if he held the legal title, to said land, and if said land still remains in his name, and all about it, so that I can duly record it as belonging to the Church, and let me know by letter at an early day, which will much oblige,

Your brother in the Gospel,
T.W. Ellerbeck
Clerk for T. in T.

P.S. said deed does not seem to be recorded, and I wish to send it up to be recorded when you come to the city.
T.W.E.
