Mr. Beanland

Your letter of May lst reached me on the 21st inst. and as you request I answer by the first Mail

The calls of the poor Saints for assistance to come to this place are numerous and and with me never fall on a deaf ear, for it is always the cries of <the> poor, but you are a stranger to me, and [loss] in this Territory.

Should you still desire [loss] I know of no better
way than for you to put your [loss] and [loss]
go to St Louis where there is [loss] branch of our Church
and an authorized agent to [loss] and [loss] wishes of the Destitute, and the necessary assistance to suchas prove worthy, that they may reach here by means of the Emigrating P. F. Company on their arrival replace the cost of their transportation at the earliest reasonable date, that [loss] in turn may [loss] others in like situations.

Praying the Lord to guide you, and bless you
with all needful blessings.

I Remain
Truly your Brother in the Gospel

Brigham Young
