Dear Brother:-- Agreeable to his request, on account of ill health, I have released Bishop Davies from the duties of his Bishopric, and requested him to transfer his official books, papers, &c., to you, hoping that it will be consistent with your feelings and other labors to take charge of said books, &c., and act as Bishop in Bishop Davies' Ward, until further advised, and in so doing oblige,

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
