Dear Sister:

Your letter about obtaining the pensions which your father received from Government, has been received.

I have no knowledge of any law which would grant unto the heirs of pensioners of the Government the pensions paid to their parents, and I think there is no prospect of your collecting anything on that ground.

With love I remain
Your Brother,

Brigham Young
