[Brigham Young Jr.] [In Durango, Colorado:] Clint Burnham & girl arr[anged]. to have me seal them but I did not. They took one room opposite mine. I suggested they should dust off with door open and when I knocked at their door Clint said you can't come in. I said do you want to be married before you go down to dinner. he said just as you say. I was astounded that they locked themselves in one room. Soon they came out and Clint then said this is my wife. after your departure from Fruitland [New Mexico] I wrote to Pres[ident] [Lorenzo] Snow and obtained permission to have our Bishop marry and I would come to the Temple later. Did you say that you were to meet me at Durango and be sealed. No. well then you must fulfill your agreement with Pres[ident]. S[now]. I decline to seal you here.
