Bro. E. B. Ward,
Santaquin (Summit) Utah Co. U. T.

In reply to your note of the 13th inst., I have to state that in my opinion it is not best to make a settlement where you propose, at least not for the present. Circumstances may transpire to render a settlement in that place advantageous, in such case those who might wish would probably be cheerfully accorded the privilege. In the mean time should you or others really wish to go to the Sevier, I think it would be best to join with those already making a settlement below its lower Kanyon.

I remain as ever Your Brother in the Gospel

Brigham Young
