Orson Hyde and William E. McLellin in Westfield, Chautauqua Co., New York, MA, May 1835, 116. (2)
W. W. Phelps, his son Waterman, and John Whitmer and his family arrive in Kirtland. (2)
We were told that Messrs. How[e], Hurlbut, & Co's. Mormonism Unvailed sold for eighteen and three quarter cents, while the Book of Mormon sold for two dollars. It is true that two dollars is above the selling price of the Book of Mormon, but the anxiety of the gentleman to purchase it, and the owner having but one, and not wishing to part with it, is an explanation of this matter. Tell every body to buy and read "Mormonism Unvailed" if they wish, for we are convinced of Paul's statement, where he says, "Ye can do nothing against the truth but for the truth." (2)
William and son move into Joseph's home and help compile the D&C. (2)
