Letter from Morris Behrman, 28 June 1888
President Wilford Woodruff
Dear Bro:
Although I have not had the
pleasure of an introduction to you, I beg to
excuse the liberty of writing to you a few lines.
I am a Jew by birth, and became identified
with the Principles of Mormonism about three
years ago. Soon after my baptism in New
York City by bro. Jas. H. Hart I came out to
Salt Lake. I was employed by Bro. C. R. Savage
for a short time, and at the Deseret News office
for about Eighteen months, and lately I have been
canvassing and collecting for L. Stenhouse, Publisher
of Utah Gazetteer.
I learned that Dr. Isaacson one of my
Jewish brethren has Joined the church, and is
engaged in translating the book of Mormon in
the Jewish language. I had the pleasure of
becoming aquainted with him and found him
to be a cordial gentleman and a scholar.
Since I met him my faith has been strengthened
and I earnestly desire with all my heart to
help the building up the Church and Kindom
