My Dear Sister: Letters Between Joseph F. Smith and His Sister Martha Ann

Seven decades of correspondence help demonstrate the tremendous devotion between the orphaned children of Hyrum and Mary Fielding Smith as they share their innermost feelings, joys, heartaches, determinations, and family happenings. The letters range from 1854, when Joseph F Smith was a fifteen-year-old missionary in Hawaii, to 1916, just two years before his death.
