Rhoda Gifford, Manti, Sanpete Co.,

Dear Sister:-Your note of Feb 19th, on the subject of your daughter's engagement to a young man whose name you do not give, has been received.

You had better use your influence to postpone the marriage of your daughter and the young man. I understand that the man is very young, and that it will be no injury to him to wait a little longer before marrying, and they had better not be married at present.

Your Brother,

Brigham Young
