View Full Bio John Sims Carter was baptized a church member and ordained to the priesthood in late 1832. He then began a mission in Vermont, during which he requested guidance from Kirtland church leaders regarding several issues. Responding in this letter, JS addressed Carter’s missionary service as well as protocols of institutional and personal revelation and visions, duties of priesthood offices, and the administration of church discipline.
JS wrote this letter from Kirtland, Ohio, to Carter at Benson, Vermont. Frederick G. Williams subsequently transcribed a copy of it into Letter Book 1.
