Dear Bro:

Yours to Prest. Young concerning John Hanson & Wife has been received.

The Prest. has been very unwell though he is now recovering, and, in his absence, Prest. Geo. A. Smith thinks that the woman being a first wife had better apply to the Probate Court for a Bill of Divorce.

When this is done you will please return the Form of Divorce alluded to in you letter, and send a "recommend" in favor of John P. Williams, then the Prest. will doubtless determine the matter.

Your Bro. in the Gospel,
D. McKenzie Sec.
