Scope and Contents

As a young man in Southern Utah, Ivins served as a mentor to Holt. These letters contain Ivins' criticism of the official Joseph Smith story, his thoughts on the origin and authenticity on the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Word of Wisdom and his opinion on various LDS Church doctrines and on religion in general. Ivins considered this correspondence the most complete expression of his changing view of the LDS Church.
