The letter, written by Brigham Young in 1877, is a response to the Board of the United Order after William A. Warnock, the secretary of the organization, contacted Brigham Young.The United Order of Monroe was established in Monroe, Utah in 1874. Members of the Monroe community transferred control of their productive property to the order in return for a share in its profits. The president and board of directors was responsible for guiding the efforts of the order, and for maintaining records of contributions and withdrawals. Due to problems within the community the order appears to have ended around 1877.
