Comments on: Joseph Smith takes on John Calhoun http://www.bloggernacle.org/joseph-smith-takes-on-john-calhoun/ Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:45:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: DKL http://www.bloggernacle.org/joseph-smith-takes-on-john-calhoun/#comment-4024 DKL Thu, 09 Mar 2006 21:32:38 +0000 http://www.bloggernacle.org/?p=330#comment-4024 I've got copies of at least one letter from Smith to Calhoun, because Merv Hogan published it in a Masonic publication many years ago. I was surprised by how caustic Joseph is in the letter. He kind of flips out, and not at all in a forceful type way like Moroni does with Pahoran. It's understandable, because of the way that his followers were being treated, but it's still surprising.

I am interested in these "senseless and pedantic quotations from foreign and ancient languages." Were they legalistic latin phrases? Are the scathing replies online anywhere?
