 File — Folder 1: [Barcode: 31197230323484]
Identifier: MSS SC 2431
Scope and Contents

Handwritten letter dated 29 Oct. 1832. The item was written to White's sister, Lucy White Young, of Williamstown, Massachusetts. White fears that his mother and sister will go to hell for not furthering the doctrine of "divine election" or predestination. White's ideas represent religious attitudes in the same county from which Joseph Smith (1805-1844), first president of the Mormon Church, left two years before. White also expresses concern for Lucy's sick child.
