President David O. McKay

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

47 East South Temple Street

Salt Lake City 1, Utah

Dear President McKay:

I would like to again express to you my sincere appreciation for the pleasant visit which I enjoyed with you a few days ago. Your generosity in calling on me at a time when you must have been extremely busy and were not entirely well was surpassed only by the liberality of your ideas and attitudes as you expressed them to me.

You have always been a symbol to me, as to countless others, of the religion that reaches out to include rather than exclude, that unites rather than divides, that is concerned with large moral and spiritual issues. Our visit was for me an intimate and personal confirmation of all this, and much more. It was a most precious experience. I wish that it could have been shared by many others.

Please accept my kindest personal regards and my best wishes and prayers for your continued health and strength.

Cordially,

your brother,

Sterling M. McMurrin
