Miss Anna C. Eldridge,
at Christopher Merkley's.

In reply to your note I have to inform you that, so far as marrying is concerned, of course you are aware that you are at liberty to marry or not, just as you may choose; but as to my sealing any woman to Joseph Smith without he so directs me, or the Lord sends me a direct message to that effect, I shall not do it.

Your Brother in the Gospel

Brigham Young
