Mormon Autograph Letter Signed Regarding the 1845 Mob War With the Mormons of Nauvoo, Illinois — “…yesterday the Mormons shot a respectable Anti-Mormon by name of Worrell. Some 50 houses have been burnt near the line of this county” — Very Scarce
Mormon autograph letter signed by F.C. Moore of Quincy, Illinois reporting a mob war with the Mormons in Nauvoo, Illinois. Dated 17 September 1845, Moore writes to John Pierce in New York. In part: “…We shall probably have a very serious war with the Mormons in Hancock County, which has commenced by burning the Mormon dwellings, and yesterday the Mormons shot a respectable Anti-Mormon by name of [Franklin] Worrell. Some 50 houses have been burnt near the line of this county…The fact is, the Mormons out vote the old citizens & have the contract of all the offices, and justice cannot be obtained in that county. The Eastern papers have no idea of the state of annarchy in that county. It is said that [Mormon supporter Jacob] Backenstos the Sheriff of Hancock shot Mr. Worrell…A number of Mormon families have fled to this city for safety, and so sure as they congregate here, we shall have fighting. The Mormons sent an express to Gov. [Thomas] Ford, calling on him for aid. It is said his reply was, ‘THEY MAY GO TO HELL.,’ pretty language for a Governor! Between Loco Foco’s rulers & Mormon neighbours we are in a poor situation…” Jacob Worrell had been captain of the Carthage militia who had guarded Joseph Smith’s cell and permitted the mob to storm it. He was most likely killed by one of the most feared Mormon enforcers, Orrin Porter Rockwell. The locofocos were a group of radical Democrats prominent in the 1830’s; by 1845 the name was used perjoratively when referring to Democrats in general. It would not be long before the Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo were compelled to move yet again from what had seemed to be their promised land. Fine condition. Sold for $2,363.

Autograph Letter Signed Regarding the Last Days of Joseph Smith Before His Murder — 1844 — “The Mormon camp is in dire confusion, a party having sprung up in its midst who are preaching a reformation from the abominations of Smith, whom they brand a ‘fallen Prophet'”
Autograph letter signed regarding Joseph Smith by Reverend J.T. Tucker of Hannibal, Missouri. Composed on 20 June 1844, just one week before Smith’s murder, to Reverend M. Badger of the American Home Missionary Society in New York. In part, “…the world, the flesh & the devil are driving on their projects of sin and ruin. One grand device of Satan is just now being exploded in our neighborhood with a terrible noise and stench. The Mormon camp is in dire confusion, a party having sprung up in its midst who are preaching a reformation from the abominations of Smith, whom they brand a ‘fallen Prophet,’ fallen from his high estate, and now, as they say, ‘an incarnate fiend’. They have stripped the prophets cloak off most unceremoniously and the pollutions concealed beneath are too vile for repetition. Mob violence among themselves has followed this Exposure. And the prospect is that the scenes of Missouri will be repeated in the expulsion of this miserable sect from their present location…” Tucker refers to the publication by dissident Mormon elders of the Nauvoo Expositor, revealing Smith’s practice of polygamy, which was still an open secret. It also told of his questionable financial dealings, inquisitorial autocracy, and manipulation of the courts. Letter shows several ink spots, as some of the text (none of it regarding Smith) was used for the Missionary Society’s publications. Minor splits repaired with transparent paper. Overall, very good. Sold for $2,363.
