Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 77: April 8, 1915
A study of this letter is a pathetic and impressive revealment of the sta te of the Prophet's mind at the moment when it was written. That is was penned hurriedly, even abruptly, is plain enough. His love for his wife and children, and his mother, and his anxiety to provide for them, are vividly portrayed; and in the portrayal he shows how' little hope he has that he will escape from his enemies; for this letter has much the character of a will. It virtually makes his wife his executrix, as it authorizes her to dis pose of his property for the support of herself and their children, and his aged mother. Do not despair; if God ever opens a door that is possible for me, I will see you again. This sentence is a plain intimation that he was aware of his impending death.
