Hon. J. F. Kinney: Yours of the 9th inst., advising us of your return from mailing under brass lock a large quantity of seeds for distribution is received; together with a quantity of franked labels for which please accept our gratitude. There never was a time in Utah when seeds were more valuable and desirable than at the present time. Seeds heretofore have been on our Gardener's hands a drag, but this season before our citizens were aware the strangers in our midst emptied the feed stores early, and when the citizens began to enquire for seeds there was not a pea, an onion seed, nor a top onion to be found except they were willing to pay fabulous prices for them. The Historian's Office, Bro. Geo. A. and myself & no doubt the others named have received their seeds. After the receipt of your 2 sacks containing Agricultural Reports & McLellan's Report, the historical corps spent the day addressing and carrying to the P. office according to your directions. We also kept an alphabetical account of names addressed to Bro. Geo. A. assisted me in this matter, and in fact his memory, which ever retains a lively remembrance of all our enterprizing and philanthrophic citizens, was taxed to its utmost tension that no distinguished citizen was passed; and that our distribution might savor of as little invidiousness as possible 7 p.m. I have just received per mail a sack of seeds
