Dear Bro. Having some interest in the success of the famed Angora goats recently imported into this Territory, I would like to purchase one pair of kids of the pure blood. If you can furnish them, send them soon as they will do to wean; by some careful conveyance coming to the city. I do not want them, if they are not the pure blood. I would suggest the propriety of your permitting none but pure blooded bucks to run with the herd.

I shall be pleased to hear from you at any time you have leisure to write with regard to your progress and success in the enterprise. In the mean time let me know by telegram at what price you can furnish the kids.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
