Mr. Daniel Cameron,
Wasatch.

Dear Bro:

Your letter to Prest. Young was duly received. He instructed me to write to you that as soon as an opening presented itself he would let you know of it.

In the mean time, (by the Prest's. instruction also) I have mentioned you to Bishop Sharp, Supt. U.C.R.R. Feramorz Little, Supt. U.S.R.R. and John W. Young. Prest. Utah Northern Railroad, and the first opportunity that occurs, if they dont' forget you, you will be apt to hear from one of them.

Since writing the above, Bro John W. Young wished me to write to you, that if you can produce good recommendations as an engineer, he will give you the running of the second locomotive, on the U.N.R.R. through Cache Valley. Your Bro, in the Gospel

D. McKenzie, Secty.
