LETTER OF ORSON SPENCER.
Nauvoo, November 17, 1842.
MY DEAR SIR:—
I received yours of the 21st ultimo about a week since, but many
engagements have prevented a more early reply. Your enquiries were very interesting and
important, and I only regret that I have not more time and room to answer them as their
importance and minuteness demand. I am not at all surprised that my old friends should
wonder at my change of views. Even to this day it is marvellous in my own eyes how I
should be separated from my brethren to this ( Mormon) faith. I greatly desire to see my
Baptist brethren face to face, that I may tell them all things pertaining to my views and
this work. But at present the care of my wife and six children with the labors of a civil
office forbids this privilege. A sheet of paper is a poor conductor of a marvellous and
controverted system of theology. But receive this sheet as containing only some broken
hints upon which I hope to am- [ 49] plify in some better manner hereafter.
