This piece is a defense of Joseph Smith's character against charges of intemperance and money-digging. The author quotes from Joseph Smith's own statements to show he was not a money-digger, and while not denying his drinking, says that it was only that intemperance common to all people at the time. The author quotes from two Mr. Kelleys who state that Joseph was an upstanding individual.
