Dear Brother: In reply to your favor of the 4th. ult., on the subject of your circumstances and position at Spring Lake Villa, I have to say that I think it better for you to give up the idea of moving South, and make your calculations to remain where you are, and therefore give you an honorable release from that Mission.

I am pleased to hear that your health is better than it has been, and that your temporal circumstances are also improving. I trust that you will continue to prosper, and pray that you may be blessed, and that peace may be with you.

Your Brother,
Brigham Young
