Letter from B. Quinn, 30 April 1889
Mr. Wilford Woodruff Dear Sir Please accept my thanks for the books you sent. They have made many points clear and satisfactory. If you can send any pamphlet or small work giving the Scripure text and explaningsations of Scripture passages favoring polygamy and having texts that seem to be against it you will confur a favor by sharing a copy. Most people think the New Testament is distinstly against polygamy and established only monogomy. I request you to do me the favor of keeping secret what I have said. you Know how bitter the prejudise is against your system and those who show Christian justice or charity towards it. Respectfully, Rev. B. Quinn Cor Main St & Humboldt Parkway Buffalo NY.
