Dear Brother:

A sister Ann Dunlap, of the 2nd Ward of this City, married a man of your Ward by the name of R. G. Trane, who has been divorced from his wife, and who has taken the divorced woman back again to his bed without marriage; at least this is the statement made to me. The woman who was last married to him says that she has conversed with you on the subject and you promised to call at the office about this matter. What is there about it?

Your Brother

Brigham Young
