aking, I have promised Mr. White of Afton Iow, through
whom I am operating,
one hundred dollars for a
Monument, the last of Nov.
next; then after it is in
place, the engraving of names
& material to engrave upon
will be an additional expense.
The ground, the
fencing and Monument
has been quite a subject of
comment through the Papers
of that State as a work
of the "Mormon Church".
In order to finish the
work in keeping with the
reputation of this Church,
I am compelled to ask your
assistance in the sum of
75 or 80 dollars, which I
think it ^will^ take to finish it
