Dear Brother, In reply to your letter of 3rd inst. I should like to know the age of the girl. If she is of legal age, she has a right to her choice and can do as she pleases with regard to marrying. If this is the case you can come to the city and have the matter attended to whenever you please.

Thanking you for the portraits, and praying the Lord to bless you.

I remain, Your brother in the Gospel.
Brigham Young
