I received your letter of August 25th, which I read
with much interest.
Now Brother Lot, when you get this I want you to sit
down and answer me the following questions: Give me
the names of the committee who settled with you. Have
you got through with the settlement? What has it left you?
Do you own the Dairy or any of it? If so, how much?
Do you own the spring at the dairy? If you own half of it,
who owns the best? How many Horses, Cattle and
Sheep have you left? After the settlement how is your
family? Where do you live? What is the name of your
Post office?

My health is pretty good, but I am somewhat
busy these days. Give my love to your family.
I would like to know how your health is. I have
one of your old companions with me who drives me
out nights where I go and guards &c—Brother Samuel
Bateman—and he wants the remembered to you.
Brother Lot, you have some friends left, George
Q. Cannon, Joseph F. Smith and W. Woodruff and many
others are your friends and dont feel disposed to
kill you yet and all wish to be remembered.
