Letter to Brigham Young, 8 September 1844
Chicago
President B. Young
Dear Sir
We arived in Chicago last night
after a journey of 10 days. We got along well considering all
things. my wife however is a bed this morning tired out and
most sick it is tedious journeying with Children. I have a
few questions I wish to ask, and a request or two to make. Br Jones
holds in his hands an order from you on me for $500
five hundred Dollars which is to be credited to the Temple. shall
any of the Emigration money, Book money, ^or^ printing money, be
paid on that order, or ownly the money donated for the
temple. An order or letter was put into my hands from
some person in Nauvoo calling for £25 twenty five
pounds from Mr Jeffreys As as I did not hear you speak
of that, I wish to ask if that is all right. In paying Jones
the $500 dollars, shall the $50 dollars you paid him or any
money that I may get in New York or else whare, to help him
to Liverpool, be considered a part of the $500 dollars or
must he have $500 dollars exclusive of what we help him
to. Please write me a letter Directed to New York and
answer these questions and you will oblige me. & give me any othr
council you see fit.
