Hon J. M. Bernhisel

Dear Bro.

Will you kindly oblige me by procuring from Patent Office or elsewhere at the first opportunity

  1 lb of Mulberry Seeds -- Fresh & good

  ½ lb " Modern Mallisa

  ½ lb of Black or purple Mulberry Seeds

and send to address of T. W. Ellerbeck, G. S. L. City

They are needed to have food for the worms [gap in typescript] and if obtained there will prove a benefit to our Territory.  They should be received here very early in the spring.  Your prompt attention will much oblige

Your friend & brother,

Brigham Young
