Manuscripts
Microfilm of original manuscript for Parley P. Pratt's Marriage and Morals in Utah, an address delivered to the Legislative Assembly at Fillmore. Pratt lays out his Biblical arguments in support of polygamy in the new state of Utah, and derides the anti-polygamy laws in other states as "unscriptural, and unconstitutional, as well as immoral." The microfilm also contains copies of two letters from Pratt to Brigham Young. The first, dated December 21, 1853, requests Young's approval of a missionary Pratt calls "Sister Hill" of Manchester, England, to accompany Pratt to California (this letters also contains a brief note to Sister Hill seeking her consent as an assistant missionary). The second letter, dated September 1, 1856, accompanied four China shawls Pratt wished to exchange for his debts. He writes that he "wants a settlement in full" with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before departing on an upcoming mission.
