G. S. L. City, June 20, 1861.:--

Br. John Hyott,
American Fork, Utah County, U. T.

Sister Sarah Hyott, claiming to be your wife, has written to me from Birkland Cottage, Queen Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England, under date April 29, 1861, that you had not done as you promised her about emigrating her and your son by a former wife. She also states that she would have been able to have emigrated herself, had she not expended a good share of her earnings in support of your son. Will you be so kind as to at once take the right steps in this matter?

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
