Letter from Elijah Freeman Farr, 11 May 1894
Ogden, Utah, Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City I write for information in re- gard to an alleged prophecy made by Joseph Smith the phrophet I notice in an edition of the Doctrine and Covenants published by S. W. Richards in Liverpool in 1854. that there is no reference made whatever ^relative^ ofto the commen- icement of the late civil war and that the prophecy is only contained in editions sub- sequent to the war. The question has been recently agitated in our religious meetings and there has been no sattisf- actory solution in accounting for the omission of the phrophecy in the editions of the Doctrine & Covenants previous to the war. Awaiting Yours respect, I Remain Your Bro. in the Gosple Elijah Farr
