Three letters of P.H. Young

March 16, 1843 - Kirtland, Ohio, to Nauvoo, Illinois; Young, P. H., to Beloved Brother (Brigham Young )Has just returned from a tour of the West. Found his family all well and is leaving tomorrow to spend the summer in the East preaching the world of life. Feels he is a good preacher, but only through the power of the Holy Ghost. Will return when Brigham sends for him and not before. Can send property to pay for his debts, but has no money.January 22, 1876 - Camas (Kamas, Utah), to (Salt Lake City); Young, P. H., to Mr. John Haslem. Letter expresses sympathy to Haslem at the loss of his son. Goes on to state that his health is very poor and his wife Phebe is very feeble, keeping to her bed most of the time. Is destitute--his children almost naked and barefoot, and they will be out of bread in three or four weeks. His brothers have already helped him in the years before by giving him clothing for his children and cattle. The favor he asks of Haslem is to check a certain place on the state road where Brigham, Jr., once lived. Brigham, Sr., told him last year that he could have the place, but he was unable to move until this spring, and he wants to know if the place is still available. February 10, 1876 - Camas (Kamas, Utah), to (Salt Lake City); Young, P. H., to President Brigham Young, Dear Brother. Tells Brigham he has been unwell and his wife Phebe is also ill. Asks if he can still have the place on the state road by spring if it is still available
