Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith

Section Five (1842-1843) | Politics

1To the Editor of The Wasp: -- Dear Sir: I have, of late, had repeated solicitations to have something to do in relation to the political farce about dividing the county; but as my feelings revolt at the idea of having anything to do with politics, I have declined in every instance in having anything to do on the subject. I think it would be well for politicians to regulate their own affairs. I wish to be let alone, that I may attend strictly to the spiritual welfare of the church. Please insert the above and oblige. JOSEPH SMITH. Nauvoo, Jan. 23, 1843.--The Wasp, Jan. 28, 1843, page 3.
