Dear Bro:-

Tell the Indians, that they must not, on any account, fight with each other, they have
enemies enough outside, They should settle down, go to work and try and raise something.

Our people will, as they have always done, give them such assistance as they can, but they will never encourage them, or help them to destroy one another.

Your Bro. in the Gospel

Brigham Young
