Letter written by Elihu Allen from First Cottonwood, Great Salt Lake Valley, Utah, to his son and daughter. In the letter Allen expresses his anxiety at being separated from his children and speaks of an influx of immigrants to the Salt Lake Valley, the prospect of crops in the area, and the potential of building a new schoolhouse. Allen also writes of the impending visit of a "general master of the Military Forces" on July 4 and a "great commotion" in Congress. He also includes commentary about the spiritual mission of Mormon pioneers. The letter appears to have been written over another letter to "My Dear Brother and Sister" and is addressed to Mr. John L. Biser, Gold Mines, California (postmarked Sacramento, November 5).
