G. S. L. City, April 3, 1861.

Pres. John Young.
City,

Dear Brother:

Br. Edwin Watts called upon me this morning in relation to killing Levi York, and I informed him that, from all I could learn concerning the matter, he was not in the least to blame, and should not in consequence be deprived of any blessing. If persons will steal, they must make up their minds to the risk of meeting with serious accidents.

Brigham Young
