Dear Brother: In reply to your note of the 21st ult., I take the liberty of reminding you that lawing is very poor business, particularly in outside courts, and that it is far better to suffer than to do wrong, my advice to you, therefore, is to go to your Bishop and ask him to examine into the matter and adjust the whole affair or difficulty upon principle of righteousness, which I trust he will succeed in doing, both parties being or professing to be willing to do right.

Your Brother in the Gospel,
Brigham Young
