I only had 90 minutes before it closed.

Don't leave us hanging too long for the letter!<br /><br />Makes me wonder what other bits of our history are preserved in places we couldn't possibly find if we went looking specifically for them, but just have to hope to trip over sometime. I search every newspaper database I can find, looking for Mormon material. More and more are coming up all the time. They're still mostly the big papers in the larger cities, though -- good Mormon material, but I suspect the best things, the personal things, will be letters like the one you've found, which probably had more chance of being printed and preserved in small, hometown papers than in big city papers.<br /><br />Will watch eagerly for the continuation of this.Ardis E.
