To the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It becomes an imperative obligation devolving upon the friends and adherents of Pres. Sydney Rigdon, to make an explicit and candid statement of the causes, which have led to their disunion and disfellowship with the adherents of the Twelve in their illegal and unwarrantable assumption of the authority of their First Presidency

Discusses the failure of the church to allow Sidney Rigdon to answer charges. There follows in double columns a letter signed by Samuel James, Leonard Soby, and eighteen others dated Nauvoo, September 8, 1844. Appears in two states. The place of printing is in doubt. Morgan suggests that Rigdons followers would not have had access to a press in Nauvoo and so perhaps it was printed in St. Louis
