Dear Brother:

Sister Nelsine Munson called upon me, as per your note of the 6th inst. I advised her to return to her husband and live with him, conducting herself as a wife as discreetly and correctly as possible; and I wish you, at your earliest convenience, to counsel br Munson to treat her as a husb-[word cut off] and claiming membership and fellowship and fellowship in the church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints should treat a wife.

I also wish you to correctly learn the nature of the difficulty between Br. Munson and his wife, and inform me thereon, and oblige,

Your Brother in the Gospel,
Brigham Young
