Albert Brown wrote a letter to his relatives less than four months after the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith which included some details about their murders not found in other sources. In his letter, Brown wrote that a mob intending to mutilate Joseph Smith's body was prevented from doing so as a light burst upon the scene and the men fell powerless. Brown also addressed the trial of the murderers and assumed that the men responsible for Joseph and Hyrum's deaths would not be punished. A copy of Brown's letter is also included in this article.
