get the Deseret Alphabet introduced among the Latter Day 
Saints He has finally introduced it in his office by having 
his Journals kept in it & we have come to the conclusion

I called in President Youngs office at half past 5 oclok
I was introduced to Mr Waggoner A Campbellite preacher 
by President Young. Soon Capt A B Miller of the firm 
of Wardle, Russell, Miller, & c called in to see President Young 
& had quite a long interview with him He said there 
were two & a half Millions of dollars worth of goods 
at First cost on the road for this market there is more 
than 1000 waggons loaded with merchandize with 2 ½ 
tons to the waggon. I think there is more than one 
million dollars worth of good more than can be sold in 
this market for the next year The western merchants have 
been anxious to sell goods to come to this market for they 
paid up so well last year but they will not be as anxious 
to sell to the transient merchants next year for it will be 
a long time before they will get their pay & I expet we shall 
have to buy out the merchants in this city before they get through
There is a vast amount of Cattle, Horses, Mules, waggons, 
goods & people on the way to this Territory Cattle will 
be cheap this fall, though many young Cattle will be 
driven through to Calofornia Mr Miller said the people 
estimated that the mormon emigration alone will be 25000.
President Young said he did not think there would be 
1000 Mormons. an Indians said all the white men 
East were going to Utah. they pulled up some grass & asked 
the Indian if he could tell where it come from [[i]]or if He 
would miss it from the field of grass before him He said 
No They told him it was so with the white men they were 
not missed where they came from Mr Miller thought 
Mr Livingston Bell & Co. will loose some $20,000 $30000, or 
their contract on Flour President Young thought not, that they 
would by their flour for goods at a high price & would probably 
sa[[m]]ve themselves. Mr Miller said that much flour would

be wanted ^^He wanted^^ flour to feed about 1500 men mostly at Bridger, many 
men who are on the way to Calafornia will come through here 
to get their flour. Mr Miller says that all Fraight can 
now b[[y]]e carried from St Louis to St Joseph either via rail 
road or steamer for 15 cents per hundrd. He said that a rail 
road would be in operation to Kansas City in two years
President Young said Mr Miller perhaps you can inform 
the people whether the Armey in this Territory belongs to 
Majors Russell Miller & Company, or the United States for 
many people are at a loss to know who it belongs to Mr 
Miller Did not answer Diret President Young asked if 
they were going to let us live a little longer here He 
said yes the army will be reduced to 1000 men by fall
we must keep them moving to keep money stiring. President 
Young said there is going to be a great sale of Mules they 
will be sold Cheap & [[go out]] bought back de[[e]]ar Miller Nodded 
assent President Young said I understand that you brought 
word that Stephen A Duglass stands Fair to be the candidate
for the next President. Miller said He was sure to be the 
next President the South has to unite on him to get votes 
in the north so as not to get Defeted. If he is President 
I shall do business in this line for 5 years then I will 
quit but Wardle will remain in Washington to regulate 
affairs there & attend to business He said they had got
the contract of carr[[i]]ying the Utah & Calaforn[[o]]ia Mail & has 
the whole controll of it & all the government transportation for
the army After some other remarks Mr Miller took 
his leave. After he left President Young remarked 
that I cannot tell what to believe by what Mr Miller 
says. He talks so much he does not expect to be believed in 
all he says. He has a motive in view in calling here he 
wants to lay a plan to make our boys his servants in 
carrying the mail if Wardle Majors & Co tell the Army to 
move to any place they will move for that company has 
all the power in their hands except the buying of the flour
Mr Miller Further said that Just before I left we received 
[[2nd]] A telegraphic Dispach not to organize 1500 larg freidt 
waggons for Utah & New Mexico we sent word that they 
were to late for we were already organized Mr Russell 
went immediately to washington to see what was up
