Austin E. Fife letter : Los Angeles, Calif., to Dale Morgan : typed transcript, 1947 May 14.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40478980

Austin Fife letter explains circumstances surrounding publication of his attached article "Folk Belief and Mormon Cultural Autonomy" which he submitted for publication in the Utah Humanities Quarterly but which he withdrew because of censorship by Utah University president Olpin and the board of Utah Humanities Quarterly. Fife closes by noting that the article as published in The Journal of American Folklore has a changed conclusion "to express a protest against the forces of Mormonia which do not tolerate published objectivities pertaining to the sacred rituals and lore of Mormonia."
