Dear Bro:--

The affairs of the Cordon estate seem to require attention, and we wish you to take over some judicious, good brethren and inquire into the matter, with the view of dividing the property as satisfactorily as possible, among the members of the family, as your best judgment shall determine. Bro Brewerton writes that Sister Emma Cordon is willing all the children should be treated alike on an equality, but she does not consider it exactly right to place the other wives on an equality with her, as she had assisted to a much greater extent in accquiring the property, however, you will hear for yourself, and judge accordingly.

My health is much improved, for which I feel very thankful. I have been suffering from a severe cold. Kind regards to all the Saints.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
