- Summary:
- This letter, accompanied by a printed pamphlet, promoted the release of the new work, "Wife Number Nineteen", an expose of Mormonism written by Eliza Young. The letter, written to a book agent in Chicago, states that "This is by all odds, the best-selling and most popular book we have ever published." The accompanying pamphlet features excerpts, a plate, and titillating descriptions. The pamphlet also cautions against imposters, as apparently the story was popular enough to inspire copycat volume.
