The Wentworth Letter was a response written by Joseph Smith to a request from John Wentworth from the Chicago Democrat. Wentworth had asked Joseph that he write about the rise of Mormonism and the beliefs of the LDS Church for a friend that was writing the history of New Hampshire. Joseph wrote the Wentworth Letter which was subsequently published in Times and Seasons in March 1842.
