Scope and Contents

David Taylor wrote: "Levira [wife of JFS] left on last Tuesday morning (this is Sunday) with her aunt in the overland coach for San Francisco... I did not much like for her to go so far from home, unprotected among the Gentiles. You will soon be there to protect her. I am not personally acquainted with Mrs. Kimball, but judging from rumors, I do not suppose that her company will have any beneficial effect on Levira, in strengthening her faith in the gospel; especially in the 'peculiar institution' [polygamy], the obedience of wives to their husbands, etc."
