Letter to the King and Queen of Sweden, 14 August 1897
Salt Lake City, Utah,
To your Majesties the
King and Queen of Sweden.
I have been informed that your Majesties
have been very kind to those of your Majesties' subjects
who have felt disposed to embrace the fulness of the ever-
lasting Gospel, popularly called Mormonism, some of
whom have emigrated to Utah.
These have united to prepare a small token of
respect to your Majesties, a box made of Utah Onyx,
containing the Book of Mormon, which will be presented
to you by one of their number Elder J. M. Sjodahl, and
which I hope and trust you will receive from them as
an evidence of the respect and love which they bear
toward your Majesties.
As a prophet, seer and revelator, and president of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I bless you both
with all blessings which I have power to bestow upon my
fellow men, that in the morning of the resurrection you may
receive joy and rejoicing at the hands of the Creator, for the many
good deeds bestowed upon these your Majesties' subjects.
Your humble servant,
Wilford Woodruff
