Dear Bro,

I wrote you from Fruita Colo, last
month asking you if it was advisable for Latter Day saints to settle
at that place as myself and a number of others were desirous of
obtaining homes. And as that Country presented more
advantages than any place that I have seen in the west (with
out exception) I thought I would like to settle there.

That exception being that there are no mormons in
the Country. A great many of the people are desirous of
having the mormons settle the on account of their industry
and understanding the work of Irrigation.

I enclose you a self addressed stamped
envelope which I would be pleased to have you use and tell
me whether it would be advisable for me to go there, or to
encourage others as there are some that are anxious to hear
about the Country.

Resp
Your Brother

F. P. Sweet
