To James Pace and others of Payson

Dear Brethren
I have received your letter of the 20th inst. with your statement of the difficulties existing in Payson, and the disfellowshiping of James Pace, Elias Gardner, and others by the High Council at Provo.

With regard to this, my decision thereof is that James Pace and Elias Gardner, retain their standing and full fellowship which tbey had previous to the proceedings of the Council at Provo, until the next April conference; then their proceedings and the cases at Payson will be read before the General Conference, unless otherwise settled among yourselves. 

I remain yours
In the Gospel of Peace

Brigham Young
