President Woodruff,
Dear Brother: I am strongly impressed to
write to you; for my time here will not belong, under
physical existing circumstance.
The Lord said through the lips of the Seer in Kirtland,
May 6th 1833. Verily, thus saith the Lord, it shall come
to pass that every soul who forsaketh their sins and com-
eth unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyth
my v[o]ice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see
my face: and know that I am. These burning words
of divine language I believe as truely as the sun now
shines upon me; and if I said that I know it, I might
not overstep the bounds of modesty and truth; but it is
sufficient at present to say, I truly b^e^leive it. It is said
"that all truth is independent in that sphere in which God
has placd it to act for itself, as all intelligence olso,
otherwise there is ^no^ existence." My experience in this Church
for 39 years, differs in some points from some other men;
for I was eight months teaching repentance to the nations
before I heard the word Mormon; neither did I ever hear
of that Book. Elder John Murdock and Charles W. Wandell
