Dear Brother:
In reply to yours of the 9th inst., it gives me pleasure to be able to inform you that you have perfect liberty to retain possession and ownership of your house and lots for the present, you will doubtless make such efforts as you consistantly can to pay your indebtedness to the Church, which you will probably be able to do within a reasonable time <and> thereby prevent being required to dispose of any property you prefer to retain.

Your Bro. in the Gospel

Brigham Young
