Scope and Contents

JFS, letter to Hyrum, 3 September 1897: "I do not wish to chide you for having allowed yourself to contend with a darkey [Black man] on a public rostrum, but I could not help feeling it was a little undignified on your part. While I approve of your efforts to defend the truth ... allow me to suggest that when you are compelled by a sense of duty to meet the enemy try and make sure that your 'foe is worthy of your steel.'"
