Description September 24, 1874 - Annapolis, Maryland, to (Salt Lake City);Young, Feramorz L., to Dear Father (Brigham Young); Informs his father that he has passed the entrance examinations at the naval academy--passed the physical examination well. Will not describe his voyage or the country, as his father has probably read the letter written to his mother. October 26, 1875 - United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, to Salt Lake City; Kenny, A. S., to Honorable Brigham Young. Acknowledges receipt of $100 in draft sent to Farmers National Bank of Annapolis for his son. October 8, 1876 - Annapolis, Maryland, to (Salt Lake City); Young, F. L., to Dear Father (Brigham Young). Would write oftener, only the scarcity of news and being constantly in the same environment restricts the interest in his letters. Tells of some of the privileges of being a second classman. His studies are calculus, French, astronomy, infantry tactics, seamanship, and theme writing. However, he is not too interested in his studies, as he does not think they will do him any practical good. Tells of his trip East and visiting with his brother Alfales at college in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At Troy he stayed a day with Carlos and tells of friends and relatives he met while in New York. His health is good, but his feelings are not, as he would like to resign, but knows his sense of duty will make him stay. October 27, 1875; January 22, 1876; April 29, 1876 -United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Three cards giving Feramorz Young's marks and relative standing at the academy
