Elder J.C. Wright
Brigham City, U.T.,

Dear Brother:-I agree with the opinion of a Danish brother, as mentioned in yours of the 13th. inst., that the free use of mustard and horseradish will do you good, using these articles as freely as you please; at the same time continue to freely use the asparagus tea; and so soon as the tops are large enough eat freely of them cooked in
any way your taste may prefer; made into a thick soup is one very good way.

I truly sympathize with you in your personal and family afflictions, but rejoice to learn that you endure them so faithfully and cheerfully, and trust they will result in your best temporal and spiritual welfare, for which you have the prayers of your.

Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
