Dear Bro:

Yours of even date is recd. Your wife Abigail called upon me, stated her feelings and requested a bill, which under the circumstances we thought proper to grant her, as is usual when a woman insists upon one. She is now living in a room in one of my houses, which one of my wives has placed at her disposal for the present, Yesterday we telegraphed her father to send for her & take her home. We know nothing about her taking any property. What she may have done in that respect she is responsible for, and for all her acts.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young

P. S.
When you come in, we will talk over the Little Colorado Mission and other matters.
