Mr. Alfred Higgins,
Moroni, Sanpete Co. U. T.

In relation to the subject matter of your note of the 11 inst., which came to hand this evening, waiving all comments thereon, my advice to you is to marry the Indian girl you mention, and take good care of her and the child she has borne to you and such other children she may bear after your marriage to her, and provide for and treat them all well, even as a husband and father should treat his family.

Brigham Young
