To-day another meeting was held and the question again considered and it was unanimously decided by the brethren present that greater leniency should be shown to the people, and that all having a membership in the church, who so desire, sholuld have the privilege of being present and t[he] [page folded] recommends for this purpose should be granted them on their application.

Please communicate this decision to the Bishops in you[r] [page folded] Stake without delay. Your Brother, Wilford Woodruff
