Bishop Nelson Higgins,
Richfield, Sevier Co.

Dear Bro: It has been considered wisdom to secure the services of young and efficient Bishops in the sparsely settled counties, and for that reason, and to enhance the interests of the work in Richfield we suggest that your resignation as Bishop will be accepted.
 
Praying for your welfare and the good of all Israel.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
