Sunset Yavapai Co A T. Dec 19th 1878
This certifies that having been connected with
the United Order company of Sunset and having
lately withdrawn, that the said company have
this day settled with me in full to my entire satis-

Abraham Perkins.
Since my return to Sunset I have been
visited by a good many of the immigration and
I am turning as many to St John as I can
There is one feature in all our immigration this
season I am very sorry to see. There is hardly a
family that has emigrated to Arizona this season
that have brought breadstuff enought hardly to last
them to Sunset. Bro Smith has had to send hundre-
ds of pounds of flour back on the road to feed the
people to get them as far as here; and the hundreds
of the immigration are looking to Bro Lot Smith
to feed them for a year to come. And Sunset is the
only settlement in Arizona of the Saints who has
a bushel of grain to spare, and he has not one
bushel to spare where he should have ten to feed the
multitude. And although they raised 3000 bushels
of grain at Snow-Flake when we were at conference
one half of the people of that place asked him for
grain or flour to furnish them for a year to come
and a great share of the Mormon people of Arizona
are looking to him to furnish them bread as they did
last year, but he cannot do it. He has had a
good crop of wheat and corn but he cannot a
quarter supply the wants of the people if they did
not use a bushel at Sunset. He said to me today
he would have to save all his bran and shorts to
grind up for bread. And that old fraudulentThres- hingMachine sent here by H. Clawson has broken
down so they cannot thresh what they have got
until a small pinion wheel is sent from St. Louis
or Z. C. M. I., he has sent to both places for it. I
have inquired of the emigration why they come without
breadstuff. Some say that Bp Johnson of Kanab
