Sellers, Charles S.,. An Interesting letter from Patriarch Benjamin F. Johnson to Elder Geo. S. Gibbs [photostat], July 1, 1911.

Title: An Interesting letter from Patriarch Benjamin F. Johnson to Elder Geo. S. Gibbs [photostat], July 1, 1911.

Photostat of an edited copy of a 1903 letter from Mormon patriarch Benjamin F. Johnson to George S. Gibbs. A one-page introduction by Charles S. Sellers, who transcribed and edited the letter in 1911, precedes the text of the letter. Johnson's letter describes some of the doctrinal views of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, as well as personal details about the leaders and about his own life. The letter is sometimes cited to support the claim that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy many years before any official announcement of his revelation on the subject, and that his first plural wife was a young woman named Fanny Alger. Johnson also claims that Smith relinquished his responsibilities and powers to the Council of Fifty while still living, and that after Smith's death, Johnson witnessed a sort of transfiguration of Brigham Young and heard Smith's voice naming Young as his successor. Among other topics, Johnson also discusses the early persecutions of Mormons, Young's leadership on the trip West, and the question of whether a prophet (he discusses Jesus, Smith, and Young) can be changeable or commit errors.
