Dear Sir,

Your letter to Prest. Brigham Young for a copy of the Book of Mormon has been received.

There is not a single copy of the work for sale anywhere that I know of; but there is an edition now being prepared for press, that will probably be ready in a few weeks. The "Deseret News" Office is printing it.

I do not know what the price of the book will be, but a letter addressed to Mr. George Cannon, Editor "Deseret News" Office is printing it.

I do not know what the price of the book will be, but a letter addressed to Mr. George Q. Cannon, Editor "Deseret News," S. L. City, where the book will be sold when ready, will procure for you the necessary information.

Yours with respect
David McKenzie, Sec. Prest. B. Young,

P. S. The price of the book hitherto has been $1.25.
D McK.
