Dear Bro:

I have been informed there is some difficulty with Bro. Ira Miles. I wish to say in his behalf, let Bro. Ira alone for the present, some of us will probably visit Lehi soon and his case can be brought up, but in the meantime bear with him & be kind to him & do him all the good you can, it is far better to save a man than to crush him & Bro Ira with all his faults is not the worst man in the world. I am thankful to say my health is good. We visit Ogden for 2 days meetings on Saturday & Sunday, & expect to start south before long of which due notice will be given.

Your Bro in the Gospel.
Brigham Young
