Dear Bro:-- Bro. Alma L. Smith is in possession of the lot described in the enclosed
deed, and as the chain of title in the County records is incomplete, the lot being still
recorded in your name, I wish you to sign the enclosed quit claim deed direct to him, (as he
wishes to declare for the lot,) and the record will then shew his title when this deed is
recorded.

My health continues good, for which I feel very thankful, the brethren who mostly
associate with me are generally well.

The legal muss lately raging in this Territory is culminating in headquarters at
Washington, where it was doubtless planned. The issue is not yet developed and the
struggle may be compared to a dog fight, one day one dog is up, and the next day the other,
but we expect ours to come out on the top, first best. Our local forces, armed with the
State Constitution are also carrying the war into the enemy's camp, and these agitations at
Washington draw the fire away from Utah. I never have wavered in my faith and feelings
that Judge McKean's illegal muddling would end in a frizzle and I still firmly believe it. We
are put to some annoyance by these persecutions and it costs money to defend ourselves
against them, but if we learn the lesson of patience thereby, and prove our integrity to our
Heavenly Father, our means and our labors will not be thrown away, for in the words of the
favorite hymn,-"For thy wrongs thou shalt have double, In thy maker's favor blessed;
All thy conflicts End in an eternal rest."

May God help us to be faithful and we are certain of final success. Remember me to the
Saints in Moroni, and accept my best wishes for yourself and for your good peace and
prosperity.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
