Lorenzo Snow was serving as president of the London Conference at the time he wrote the three letters herein produced to various priesthood leaders in the London area. These letters offer a glimpse into the counsel and advice he gives in the art of priesthood leadership. He warns against using Church positions to gratify one's own ambition, notes that a priesthood calling often subjects an office holder to more abuse than honor, and cautions against various temptations. The letters were written in November 1842 and are applicable for members in priesthood leadership positions today
