Sir:

I observed to-day a clipping taken from your paper on the subject of correcting echos in large halls, wherein allusion is made to the successful use of wires, in improving the acoustics of your court room.

If not asking too much, I would be thankful for some information on the subject, (for the benefit of our Tabernacle, a building 250 by 150 ft. 60 ft. high, with self supporting roof,) such as the size of your courtroom, where and how the wires are placed, and any items likely to aid us in making a trial of the plan; particulars of the shape and style of building also.

If not convenient to attend to this personally, would you oblige me, either by handing this to the proper person, or giving me his address?

Yours with respect
Brigham Young
