Scope and Contents

September 11, 1845 - New York to Nauvoo, Illinois; Hyde, Orson, to Dear Brother (Brigham) Young
Has purchased $1,040 of Imperial Russia Duck (canvas material for wagon tops) paid for out of tithing and is having it shipped. Has labored day and night baptizing many and has completed his mission in the East. Will hurry on to Pittsburg to meet the canvas there and sail with it by boat for Nauvoo. Sees by accounts that things go well in Nauvoo so he will stay and visit a little and get a new suit of clothes first. Discusses Brother William Smith and hopes he will stay in Nauvoo where he can be sustained by the brethren instead of coming East. Feels he will cause havoc in the church if sent away from Nauvoo without counsel. Hopes William will not follow the path of Rigdon, Adams, etc. If he ever starts to fall away from the church he hopes every stumbling block will be placed in his path. Sends love and regards to the quorum in Nauvoo. Asks Young to please take a "peep" at his house and tell them God bless them for him.
July 9, 1875 - Spring City to Salt Lake City; Hyde, Orson, to President B. Young
Is sending his carriage to York Station. Wants him to give him credit on church books for the carriage. Entire cost of carriage and delivery in the city will be $450.00.
