Scope and Contents

JFS, letter to Junius F. Wells, 30 November 1875: "In the first place it [the RLDS Church] is a fraud, a base counterfeit, having only a form and color of the true coin, but not the metal. It is an attempt by apostates, to compromise with the world, and popularize the names of Joseph Smith and 'Mormonism,' and at the same time the secret design is to root out and destroy the kingdom of God, as they never could and never can endure sound doctrine."
