Scope and Contents

August 21, 1967-In a long letter, Morgan apologizes for not writing. He then lists the books he has written or edited since 1965. He also mentions he has been diagnosed as a mild diabetic. Morgan goes on to describe a biography of Brigham Young, by Madeline R. McQuown, which was supposedly "substantially complete." Apparently Brodie considered writing a biography of Young, but in this letter Morgan advises her to wait until McQuown's book is published.
October 5, 1967-"The bestowal of this award [Fellow of the Utah State Historical Society] in effect marked the end of a 22-year period in which your violation of the sacred Mormon prophet taboo exposed you to the usual back-biting of an affronted Utah society, the sniping and the snide remarks."
