Dear Sister,
 
Yours of the 30th ult. has been received and its contents considered.
 
We think your best course will be to see George W. Bean, Probate Judge of Utah County and apply for a Bill of Divorce from the Probate Court, which will also make proper provision for your maintainance and that of your children. Bro Bean will instruct you how to proceed in the premises.
 
Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
