Dated: October 4, 1874 by D. Robert Carter, Provo Area Historian, expert help in the documentation of the Biography. Early in February, Robert Carter, while researching the correspondence files of Apostle George Albert Smith in the LDS Church Archives, came across a letter written by AHS shortly before his death, October 11, 1874. Having helped with the research for the AHS Biography, Brother Carter was familiar with the close friendship that existed between the two men.
Recognizing the significance of such a letter in Andrew’s own hand, he transcribed it. Later, when Cifford Pierpont went to pick up copies of Brother Carter’s newly published books, he gave him the transcript of the letter. Clifford sent it to Bea Robins. the Association’s genealogist, who contacted Sue Laing to see if she could acquire a scan of the original letter. Glen Rowe at Church Archives kindly provided Sue with the following scans of the four-page letter. written 4 October 1874, just one week before AHS’ death.
