Dear Brother:

I approve of your wish to settle in Strawberry Valley, as expressed in yours of Feb. 26, and advise that enough go, of those who may prefer going there, to at once locate all the most eligible spots in that valley, both for farming and herding. I also repeat to you my invariable counsel to all who make new settlements, and that is to so conduct your operations in making the settlement that women and children shall at no time be left unprotected against the assaults and violence of wicken men, whether they be red or white.

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
