Dear Brother:

A Bro. Richard Soper, who is now residing in your place, divorced a wife, some time ago, by the name of Mary Louisa Forbes. The bill was granted by the Probate Court. Since the granting of the bill, as I understand, she has borne him a child. The Court decreed that he was to give her a certain sum of money, the household furniture &c. This he has failed to do, and the woman is now in great distress and needs assistance. Will you see that he forwards her the amount decreed by the Court?

With love. Your Brother

Brigham Young
