Letter from Nathan Bennett Baldwin Sr., 6 February 1891

Fillmore Presidents W Woodroof, G Q Cannon Bisop O F Whitney S L City U T Dear brethren In reading the account of the cerimonies, of the laying the corner stone, for the building of the Utah sugar works, I noticed, (amoungst the contributions of papers, dollars, dimes, and other articals, deposited in the stone,) a two dollar bill of Kirtland money, by Andrew Genson. This brought vividly to my mind, some of the early labours of this Church; one part of which I acted, being a stone-cutter, was to cut, and fit the pillars, or posts, to receive the iron door of the vault in which was deposited the banks valuables. I had stock in that bank and the first instalment paid: but I never drew any money from

Letter from L. D. Hickey, 6 February 1891

[sideways text] L D Hickey Coldwater Rcd Feb 16 [18]91 [end of sideways text] Coldwater, Mich Feb 6, [18]91. Box 401 Wilford Wood. Haveing been called of God in the days of the Martyr, & by him & you taught to believe the Bible B of M, D & C I am this day what I am, Firm in the faith that Angels came to Joseph & Oliver, & that by the Revelations through Joseph, we can make our calling & election sure. At the death of Joseph, I was in Mich, & had not read the D & C much, But on reading it I found that God had promised to plant another inhis stead. In [18]46, I was in Nauvoo & heard the debate between Parley Pratt & James Shaw on the claims of James J. Strang. There I discovered from the D & C that the (12) had made a mistake & that instead of (12) leading the Church, there was only one to take the place of Joseph. I took the matter up in all candor & found that Joseph did by revelation appoint Mr. Strang. I at once endorsed him & stood by him, until he was shot. He was all he claimed to be & I can witness to all nations, kindred & people that Joseph & James were both Prophets of the Lord. James translated the plates got from Laban, (or part of them,) which makes a Book of (336) pages. This is the Book of Law, that was lost from Israel of Old & it is to be the Law of the land eventually our people ought to have it. I dont know but you have seen it. If not I hope for the good of all our people, I hope you will get it, & reccommend it. It is the greatest Book of all the earth. When Prophet Strang was shot, the mob came in & took our [Priz], Libury & all they could carry But as ^as^ the Book of Law was unbound some (800) or more they did not want them & we got them away. This Law is what we have all get to [upside down text] When I was with James, we had polygamy & did not deny it. Though we used wesdom. I hold to it now & [toller] it. [end of upside down text]
