Letter from Brigham Young to Edward Lloyd Parry, September 1875

Provo, Sept. 25, 1875

Dear Brother Parry,
St. George:

I wish you to take out the old wall in the cellar of the old Birch house, as we talked together about, and get good black rock and put in its place. The footing should be large flat rock about 8 inches thick, and it should extend at least 10 inches outside of the face of the wall, and it would be well to have it project some distance inside also. I wish you to attend to this as soon as you conveniently can this Fall.

With love and praying the Lord to bless you I am, Your Brother,
Brigham Young

Handwritten Autobiography of Edward Lloyd Parry

I am unsure as to whether this is Edward Lloyd Parry's actual handwriting, because the very last sentence on the last page suddenly transitions to third person to tell the date of his death. Perhaps he dictated this document. I have also posted the typewritten text of this same document here on the blog (entitled "Autobiography of Edward Lloyd Parry"), which you can access from the archives. In any event, enjoy! (Don't forget you can click on a page to enlarge then print it.)

P.S. The problem of clicking on an image for its enlargement is now fixed. You actually can click it now.
