In the final year of Joseph Smith's life, he engaged in frequent correspondence with political leaders, Church officers, family members, and others. Here, Smith explores a letter written to Joseph Smith from a Mormon missionary and presiding elder named Jedediah Morgan Grant, headquartered in Philadelphia PA. Written in August 1843, the letter concerns, among other things, a young female Latter-day Saint then living with her mother and sisters in Philadelphia. The letter is remarkable for several reasons, notably the veiled glimpse it provides into Joseph Smith's practice of polygamy.
