Description
Letter from Brigham Young to Dodd, Brown, & Co. in St. Louis, written on Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution letterhead. In the letter Young seeks to "refute untruthful rumors in circulation" about the instability of the Mercantile Institution, and writes that while "there are persons in [Salt Lake City] who...seek to injure the Institution's business and...destroy its credit," it is actually a prosperous enterprise and he vouches for its notes and accounts. Young also explains the resignation of a superintendent named Cooper on the grounds of ill health. Enclosed with the letter is a statement of liabilities and assets of the Mercantile Institution for the half-year ending April 1, 1875.
