Dear Bro:

Yours of the 12th inst. with accompanying letter from Sister Mary Henderson has been received.

If Robert Henderson has acted towards his wife as she alleges, we hold him to be unworthy of a standing in the Church and would like to have you inquire into the facts of the case and deal with him accordingly.

Let her make application to the Probate Court for a Bill of Divorce; we think that will be the best course for her to pursue under the circumstances.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
