Interviews

Chicago Times, August 7, 1875—This interview was conducted at the home of David Whitmer in the presence of the editor of the Richmond (MO) Conservator, Jacob T. Child. Whitmer said the published version was "substantially correct. There may be a few minor errors, but they do not interfere at all with what I gave him in substance, or the purpose of the Almighty Father in disseminating his truth." (Salt Lake Herald, September 18, 1875)
Kansas City Journal, June 5, 1881—This lengthy interview Whitmer said was "substantially correct." He did send a follow-up correspondence to correct the errors. The follow-up letter has been appended to the interview.
