Brethren:

We the undersigned appointed at the Semi-annual Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commenced October 6th, 1877, and at the General Conference of the same Church which commenced April 6, 1878 as a committee to audit the books of the late Trustees-in-Trust President Brigham Young and George A. Smith, have in accordance with that appointment made a thorough and exhaustive examination of said books and the account of the late President Brigham Young as we have found it upon the books of the Trustee-in-Trust. Besides bestowing a great deal of care and spending a large amount of time in examining and auditing this account ourselves, we have called to our aid those of the late Trustees-in-Trusts' clerks who we could obtain, namely: Thomas W. Ellerbeck, David O. Calder, James Jack, A.M. Musser, Wm. Clayton and Robert R. Anderson in order that all the light possible to procure might be thrown upon the various entries.

After taking these pains and thoroughly satisfying ourselves respecting the account refered to, we find there is due to the Church from the estate of the late President Brigham Young in the aggregate $999,632.90 which sum does not include rents, issues and profits on real estate, nor does it include interest or coupons on railroad bonds; dividends and reserves on
