Sister [Susa Young Gates], letter to My Brother [JFS], received 31 December 1906, 4 pp., says: "When I think of who and what you are--one of the greatest historical characters of this Church and of this world--and when I remember that some day every scrap of your own writing, as well as all letters written to you will be eagerly searched for historical purposes--I am simply frightened out of all further speech.... But that last sentence of yours sounds in the very ears of my soul! 'Write nothing others may not read.' Dearly beloved, this shall be my very last 'care of my heart' letter. But, even if I draw close the door into the chamber of my soul, that chamber closed fast, since I was a girl of fourteen--it will be there! Eternity if not far away!"
