This article discusses Eliza R. Snow's correspondence with Dr. Martin Luther Holbrook, editor of the New York Herald of Health and an acquaintance of Snow's from Ohio. They discussed health and social issues, including Mormon polygamy, women, and children. These letters are unique due to Holbrook's open-mindedness and Snow's frankness on these subjects, and they may have played a role in motivating Snow's 1870 campaign of "Indignation Meetings," instituted to defend Mormonism and plural marriage.
