We are doing all we can, and are encouraged I remain Your Bro Wm Budge

Letter to Brigham Young Jr., 14 November 1887

P.O. BOX B. Salt Lake City, U. T. Elder Brigham Young Dear Brother: I am in receipt of two letters from you under date of the 9th and 11th inst., Your representation of the condition of affairs of the Indians at Thistle Valley is rather mournful.

He is a man that has made no complaints and has not applied for any aid. We feel that something
