President Lot Smith
Dear Brother
I heard of the
accident you had again this year in your
thrashing Machine I felt as though I
wanted to give you a little council
to put some young man onto that
Machine next year and not to kill
yourself at that Kind of work. I heard
a Rumor yesterday that you was vary
sick & vary low and for that reason
I feel to write this Morning to Enquire
of you or your family to know how
you are Erastus Snow got a letter a
few days ago from Br Brigham Young He did
not convey an Idea that you was danger-
ously sick but I want to know how it is
E Snow sprained his ancle the day he
arived here so he is quit lame. I Enjoy
vary good health with the Exception of there
