Elder Joseph Bull

Dear Bro:-

We are informed that you are taking steps to send your former wife Mary Ann Short to California, thereby giving the final blow to her ruin.

We wish you to desist from doing so, and by providing her means of support here, instead of sending her away, take a course to preserve her from ruin instead of hastening it on.

This would be much more to your credit as an elder in Israel, and we hope and trust for your own sake as well as hers that you will give heed to it.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
