Your Saturday article regarding Jerald Tanner, founder of the Utah Lighthouse Ministry, made a very confusing statement. It read, "Mr. Tanner received public criticism after studying the authenticity of the Salamander letter, which was later determined to be a forgery by Mark Hofmann containing facts about the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith."

Actually, it was Mr. Tanner who was very suspicious of the Salamander letter. While document experts and the LDS Church felt Hofmann's letter was authentic, Tanner virtually stood alone in believing it was a forgery. As we all know now, Mr. Tanner's doubts were vindicated.
