"[illegible]" SEPT. 21 I have received from Mr. A. H. Moulton the following letter: "Mr. President, I am writing to you in regard to the matter of the so-called 'Mormon' question which has been agitated by certain members of your own party. I desire to state that I believe it is the duty of every citizen to support the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that no person should be allowed to interfere with or obstruct the free exercise of religion by any sect whatever. It is therefore my opinion that the action taken by Congress in passing the bill known as the 'Morrill Anti-Polygamy Act' was entirely right and proper. I am also of the opinion that the Supreme Court decision in the case of Reynolds v. United States (1878) upholding the constitutionality of the Morrill Act, was correct and should be followed by all courts throughout the country. In conclusion, I respectfully submit for your consideration the above-mentioned views on this important subject. Very truly yours, A. H. Moulton" I have read over Mr. Moulton's letter carefully, and find it to be very well written and logical. His arguments are clear and convincing. I believe he has made a strong case for the position that polygamy is illegal under federal law, and that Congress acted correctly in passing the Morrill Act to prohibit it. The Supreme Court decision in Reynolds v. United States seems to support Mr. Moulton's view that the Constitution does not protect the practice of polygamy. I therefore agree with Mr. Moulton's conclusion that the action taken by Congress was entirely right and proper. I would recommend that the bill be passed into law as soon as possible, and that all citizens should support its implementation.
