Editors Daily Boston Times:
Allow me to trouble you with these few Ines,
which | wish you 70 insert in your Daily Times.
Ny object is this; have been for the last tea
years firm believer in the doctrine Of the Lat.
er Day Saints, or rather, Mormonism. Ny
parents became followers Of toe celebrated Joe
Smith in an early day, and emigrsted TO
NauVo. After the death Of Smith snd his
brother we were driven from thsncs. The 90.
eiety split. There were two who wished 10
take their leaders place, and stand at the head
Of the Church. but could not agree. They
separated. Col. White aud his followers, that
is, such as believed in him, went to Texas, and
are living in peace and prosperity, Col. w. is
worthy man compared with our great, or
rather notorious, Brigham Young. nOtwiih-
standing he has been for the last three years
ms lawful husband, that is, according to their
own laws and rules. But for the last twelve
months have seen enough to satisfy me; for
What I don't know about MOrmonism is not
worth knowing. They Lave secret pl OTIS and
| objects that they mean TO accomplish. They
censure the Government for not protecting
/ them in all their heltish works, For all this
| they mean to have satisfaction, My object iu
wiring this is to warn my female friends 70

out from the Great Salt Lake City to deceive

the United States, and visit all the principal ci-
ties, and lecture on this great and important
