Dear Brother:

Your favor of the 7th instant has been received. You had better let your children stay with their mother, so long as they can be taken care of. If you can take care of one or two more wives, and they will stay with you, I have no objections to your taking them.

With love and praying the Lord to bless you
I remain Your Brother

Brigham Young
