Office,
G. S. L. City, Nov. 30th. 1858.

Hon. C. E. Sinclair
U. S. Asse. Justice for Utah Territory, and ex-office Judge
of Third Judicial Distr.

Sir:--

I was surprised to learn that a return had been made by an officer of your Court, and read in open Court this morning that an attempt had been unsuccessfully made to serve a subpoena upon me.  I have received two summons from your Court left at my office by a gentleman who stated himself to be a U. S. Deputy Marshal.  Nothing has ever been stated nor done in reference to the service of a Subpoena to my knowledge.  Whenever I am required to appear in Court, being within a short distance of the Court room, I shall come at the notification of your honor or the officers of your Court.

I have the honor to remain Very respectfully Yours

Brigham Young
