Description This letter describes Brigham Young's frustrations with the Indians who lived near Aaron Farr. Young expressed his displeasure with what he percieved to be Indian understanding of land ownership. He also counseled Farr to return to the Indians the horses which the Mormon settlers had taken, and also address the issue of an Indian whom the Indians had slain in hopes that this may "pacify" the Indians to bring "peace."
