Dear Bro:-Yours of the 10th inst. with reference to Bro. David Ross has been received.

We are pleased to learn that Bro. Ross is deporting himself so well. So far as we are concerned, you are at liberty to ordain him an elder if he so desires. We have no wish to curtail him in the privilege of doing all the good he can, and sincerely trust that he may continue to merit the same good character you now give him.

Your Bro. in the Gospel,
Brigham Young
