Bishop John R. Murdock
Beaver, Beaver Co:

Dear Bro: A letter from Brother Thomas Carwright of your ward has been received by me, asking for a divorce for his wife, Catherine Baffins. It is not customary for men to ask for a divorce, neither are they given to them; but to the women. What are the circumstances of the case?

With love Your brother
Brigham Young
