175 years ago today - Nov 12, 1838

Joseph writes a touching letter to Emma, thanking her for her letter and praying that he might see his "lovely family" once again. He lists the prisoners he is chained to, stating "and thus we are bound together in chains as well as the cords of everlasting love." He also tells her that the lawyers Doniphan and Rees will defend them. (Donna Hill, Joseph Smith: The First Mormon 247.)
