who is ingaged here in the fruit matter
he is willing to assist all he can in getting
choice fruits into utah he has also a fine
collection of choice roses which can
easily be buded into the common rose
there we are also getting choice graftred
Apple Pear plum cherry &c from oregon
which can be sent in the same way
and speedily get fruit in this way
by planting the quinc⬦ then buding in the
Pear we can have Pears in about three
years it would be well for the Brethren
to take some pains to get quinc⬦ sprouts
for this purpose I was much pleased to
hear from your self and Br Bullock
and hope you will write often I shall
not be able to write to Br Bullock this
time as the mail leaes this morning but
will at another time give him my kind
regard's and what I have said to you I also
want to him about the fruit
You will except my kind regards for your
Self and family. Give my Love to the Presidency and Twelve and I might say all
the saints but this would be too much trouble
I remain your brother in the Gospel
