Dear Sister;

Your letter of the 29th April was duly received. I send you Two hundred (200) dollars at your request, and I sincerely trust it will prove the blessing you anticipate.

Elder Warren N. Dusenbury, who has been instructed to bear it to you, will give you all the news, much of which will doubtless prove interesting; you will find him a gentleman worthy of your consideration and as he is well acquainted with the leaders of the Church, and many others, possibly with whom you are accquainted I think you will appreciate his society. He will convey to you our best regards. The memory of our beloved Prophet is deeply cherished in the hearts of the Saints, and for his sake, his relations and members of his family notwithstanding differences of opinion are kindly regarded and would be welcome among us and received with open arms, were they willing to adhere to the principles taught by the Prophet and become one with those who are striving night and day with all their hearts to carry out those principles he held so sacred and taught his brethren.

May peace be with you and the blessings of Heaven attend you all the remnant of your days upon the earth, and a happy hereafter be your lot in eternity.

Your Bro. in the Gospel.
Brigham Young
