Dear Sir,

Yours to Prest. B. Young inquiring where a copy of the "Book of Mormon" may be procured was duly received.

It is sold at the "Deseret News" office S.L. City, price $1.50 and will be mailed to you on receipt of that amount.
 
It is not our Bible, however, in the sense you seem to understand it. The "Old and New Testaments" constitute our bible, the Book of Mormons is more of a historical work, and gives a history of the aboriginies of the American Continent, which the Latter-day-saints believe, because it is true.
 
Yours respectfully

D McKenzie
Cor. Secty.
