T. D. Brown has been appointed to superintend the
making of a canal for bringing the waters of Weber river
to the Hot Springs 4 miles north of this city, the operations
to commence immediately

We hear of a very large emigration for the mines
and it is reported that 25,000 head of stock are on the way
by the Northern route.

I am happy to be able to inform you that the
choice fruit which you sent to your friends in this Territory
have been grafted and most of them have lived and are growing
finely; also some choice Fruit mostly apples were obtained
from the East which are alive and doing well. We
consider this a great blessing to our thriving Territory.
It is a general time of health, but great scarcity of
bread, but we look forward for the coming harvest to re-
lieve the wants of the people.

The Presidency and Twelve with their families are
all well.

yours truly,
W. Woodruff

[P]S. Bro: Cannon I have a fine orchard of 50 seedling
apple trees growing, about one half of them begin to bear
fruit for the first time this season. I want to graft or bud
my orchard with better fruit, and I have not yet been en
enabled to obtain any States fruit; you will do me a great
favor if you will put me up a package soldered in a tin case
