Letter from A. T. Hamilton, 13 October 1890
Denver, Colo. . W. Woodruff, President of the Mormon church Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Sir. Thoug I am a stranger to you, permit me to send you enclosed a clip of the Times. I am very glad to hear such explanations as those ^are^ as I always had a good opinion of the Mormon church, because they practice what they preach. I amdo not belong to any church, because I believe in Revealations or Spiretualism wich they do not. What I further like of the your church is that nearly every one owns his home as I think that every person is entitled to ^a^ home while on this earth. If this were the case there would be many sinslers in this world and a great many young man would marry wich, in the other circum stances he dare not risk as he hmay be thrown on the street, if he cannot pay
