Received payt of the above Bill from Brigham Young Governor &c this 18th day of October A. D. 1853

Daniel H. Wells


Executive Department U. T.
G. S. L. City Octr I8th, 1853.

Hon. A. W. Babbitt
Secretary of Utah Terrty.

Sir

The Safe remained for Two years in storage, and was not considered in good Condition for use, I finally concluded that I would put it in order and use it.

I cannot say that I would be willing to entrust valuable property or cash therein, without other safe guards; neither do I consider it safe against fire.

The safe can be had by paying the Enclosed bill, which are the charges on it up to this date.

Respectfully
Brigham Young, Governor
