Joseph Fielding’s thoughts

Wilkinson asked for Joseph Fielding to give his “approval” of a letter response to Israel, but while Joseph refers to the letter (“the letters to Israel A. Smith”), he does not apparently comment on Wilkinson’s writing. One wonders if Joseph Fielding was distracted by his upset feelings; the letter overall feels uncharacteristically harsh and out of proportion to Israel's own letter. | Source: Joseph Fielding Smith to Ernest L.
