Dear Brother:

The bearer of this, the wife of bro James McKnight, has called on me with regard to her family difficulties. I have referred her to you, trusting you will do what you can to aid <her> in the affair.

James McKnight is certainly undeserving, and as what you do will be legal you had better oblige the women and divide the property.

With kind regards,
I remain, Your Brother

Brigham Young
