Dear Bro.

Yours of the 26th ult. is at hand, and its contents considered.

We think it right and proper to build Bro. Abbott, a small, comfortable house on his lot as he has solicited, and take a deed from him of the house and lot to the Trustee in Trust as he proposes.

The house should be built with labor tithing, the lumber, shingles &c. or a part of them, may have to be gotten on produce tithing, but we dont want any cash tithing to be used on it.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
