Fascinating Letter from an Anglican Priest Regarding His Experience in Nauvoo

A letter I inadvertently came across in my research on 19th-century American Anglicanism. It is written by a British Anglican priest who made an impromptu visit to Nauvoo during the time of Joseph. He writes of his experience catching the prophet in a lie, and of the generally rough culture of the city. As far as I know, I am the only LDS to come across this artifact and mention it publicly - not that I've looked very widely: http://anglicanhistory.org/usa/caswall_city.html
