Bishop David Evans,
Lehi, U.T.,

Dear Brother:-In reply to your note of the 14th inst., I take pleasure in informing you that the past is cheerfully forgiven, if you, as speedily as possible, make right what is wrong pertaining to it, and are more careful in the future and keep all things right. It is very unpleasant to have to watch everybody and everything, and, as a watched pot is said to never boil, so a person who requires to be watched to keep him in the line of duty, will scarcely attain the exaltation you are desiring.

Trusting that the past may prove a valuable lesson, I remain

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
