Scope and Contents

There is no general theme to this correspondence in this box. The early letters are from the Joseph J. Cannon family's mission in London. These letters contain family, business, and Church related information. There are a series of letters in 1935 pertaining to the mental health and pending divorce of Joseph J. Cannon's daughter, Elizabeth Cannon. There is also correspondence documenting the release of Joseph J. Cannon from his English mission in 1937 as well as his new calling as the president of the Temple Square Mission and as member of the Y.M.M.I.A General Board. Because of Cannon's Church callings, there are numerous letters from Heber J. Grant, David O. McKay, and Hugh B. Brown. In the late 1930s, there is an increasing amount of business correspondence about his business pursuits in odorless toilets and Inland Sea Silver, a silverware company in Salt Lake.
