Letter from Brigham Young Jr., 29 August 1892

[sideways text] Brigham Young Aug. 29th 1892. [end of sideways text] LATTER-DAY SAINTS, EUROPEAN PRINTING PUBLLISHING AND EMIGRATION OFFICE. Presidents Woodruff, Cannon & Smith Box B. S. L. C. Utah Dear Brethren: I am in a quandary about moving away from 42. We ought not to leave this ^as a^ legacy for stow who may succed us. The building is not safe, the storms are as violent that I am worried about the breth ren who live in this old rattle trap. I have had several conversation with Bros Anderson & Cutler. Bro A. is positive that we can get our work done as cheap outside without keeping up this large estab- lishment. The men who work at the printing are unreliable as a rule, completely subject to the order they belong to, moste of them but what will drink and get drunk I am informed The' they do not trouble us under those conditions. We can get rid of a disagreable nest could frot up this old pile The landlylady who keeps the next door is quite anx- ious to rent this place and out through the par- tion wall and use it to enlarge her hotel she might lease it w her in case we were required to keep it any length of time. What do you think of our getting all our printing done out side; and either store the press and type etc or sell them to best advantage, as you direct. I can send you [upside-down text] P.S. I will make my letter short as possible. A long letter discourages me ^not yours, but^ I will not inflict them on you. B. Y. [end of upside-down text]
