"Following the missionaries’ departure the previous year [from Jamiaca], the converts had carried on the best they could, meeting together often, reading and studying the scriptures and scattered tracts left behind by the elders, and defending their faith from attacks by rival ministers and antagonistic public officials. Their letter provides otherwise unknown information about the little-studied Latter-day Saint mission to Jamaica, including the activities of the missionaries and biographical details about the converts themselves. Moreover, the letter provides an unparalleled look at the religious lives and activities of the first Latter-day Saint converts in the Caribbean. Smith, Smith, and Hollywood’s letter adds a crucial perspective to our understanding of the nineteenth-century Latter-day Saint experience, highlighting how converts around the globe wrestled with plural marriage, the gathering, and attacks on the faith."
