Bro. W. Above please find recpt for
money by last mail, which came safely
and expiditiously to hand. you are very
prompt in all your business operations and
have been very successful in raising money
Drft, to one note are much the safest.
I feel very sorry about that money that you
sent by Horner. I hope that you will be
able to collect it of him when he arrives
at Salt Lake and think if he has it, or if any
one could collect it of him you will be
likely to. he will have to be sharp to escape
you when your dues are just.
