Dear Brother:

The accompanying statement has been made to me by the divorced wife of Bro. LaFayette Granger. I wish you to take the case up, and if he has been as guilty of sleeping with her, as she states, since they were divorced, he ought to be cut off from the Church. The division of the property should be left to the Probate Judge of the County.

Your Brother,
Brigham Young
