Salt Lake City, U.T.

Mr. Daniel Shearer,
City.

Dear Bro: Yours of the 1st inst. was duly received, inquiring what amount of tithing would be proper for you to pay on the $1550.00 you received for the sale of a certain portion of land.

We would say pay one tenth of the whole amount which would be $155.00 and that will satisfy your feelings the best.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
