Mr. George Hewlett

Dear Bro:--

Yours to Prest. Young received. We are not able to answer all your questions definitely as the time of the emigration is not regulated here. It would be well for you to write to Elder Wm. C. Staines for particulars, as well as to purchase your tickets. Bro. Staines is our emigration agent, his address is P.O. box, 3957, N.Y. City. The fare from Chicago to Ogden is $41.00 with 100 lbs luggage free. Children from 5 to 12 years old, half fare & half luggage.

Children under 5. and without luggage free. Extra luggage $6.50 per 100 lbs. You can go at any time after you receive your tickets, although it is advisable to travel with the Saints. The last vessel that we know of was advertized to leave Liverpool on the 24th June.

Yours in the Gospel
D. McKenzie Secty.
