Sister Dewy,

Brother Sharitt informs me that you are willing that he should have his daughter if it meets my approbation.  I consider you the most proper person to keep the child if you are so disposed, but if you have got a little girl that you wish to give bro. Sharitt I certainly have no objection to your doing so.  It is a matter for you to do precisely as best suits your own feelings and wishes and be thereafter satisfied with your dicision.

May the Lord bless and give you wisdom according as you need.

Your Bro. in the Gospel

Brigham Young
