Great Salt Lake City Nov. 29, 1858

Mrs. Snow & Others Living in the House formerly owned by Lorenzo Snow now owned by Myself.

I understand you have been having dancing parties in the house and expect that another will come off to night.  I wish to inform the Company not to congregate there to night, nor at any other future time without my direction  It would look better praying than dancing just now.

Signed Brigham Young
