Dear Brother:

At your earliest convenience, I shall be pleased to receive your resignation of your office, as Bishop. You will at once ask why. I reply, that we may see if we cannot find some one to lead out and manage affairs to a better advantage. If this is not satisfactory, when I visit your place I will explain more at length.

Your Brother in the Gospel,

Brigham Young
