Letter from Richard Theodore Haag, 21 March 1894
To the First Presidency, Addressed
Dear Brethren:
Consistent with my position
and calling in the Church, I feel to still make
some explanations to you, which I was declined
to do orally. Allow me not to refer you to
my communication of the 9 inst. to which
I have not as yet received a reply and
briefly add:
It may appear that in taking
this matter of a new German paper in hand
I act under selfish motives, which however
those who have intimately been associated
with me in this movement can explain from
various evidences is not so. In humility
alone I fully understand lies my safety.
After learning of your views as expressed
in your letter of March. 6, and conversations
I had with you later, I made several
attempts to drop the matter entirely even
without any indemnification.
over,
