Mrs Jane Stewart, Wife of Bro. Riley Stewart,

Dear Sister:

Your son, William Stephen, now living with Bro. Markham I would advise Bro. Markham to let you have if you are in a situation to take care of him. You had better go to the Probate Court of Juab County, and have your property set off to you that you may be able to do something for a living. Should you want to marry at any time, you ought to marry for time only, and not marry at all unless you can get a good Latter-day Saint.

Your Brother
Brigham Young
