Dear Bro:--

Yours of the 17th inst. has been received, in which you state that "you hear I am very much displeased with you for some cause."

I wish to disabuse your mind of that idea, for I have no ill feelings against you whatever, from any cause, but on the contrary.

The little feeling that grew out of the disputed ownership of that lot, we consider as entirely settled, since the matter was referred to, and decided by the Priesthood; and there is nothing else that I know of that would give rise to such a report.

May peace be and abide with you and all the faithful, is the prayer of

Your Bro: in the Gospel
Brigham Young
