Joseph Smith was harassed in the vicinity of Mentor, while on his way to Painesville, by two non-Mormons. They yelled to him "Do you get any revelations lately?" and added some "blackguard language" to the insult. Possibly the men were referring to allegations that Smith had commanded Mormons Davis and Denton to kill Mentor resident Grandison Newell, in the name of the Lord. Smith noted in his history of the harassment that he had "never laid a straw in their way," thus responding that their abuse of him was unwarranted. [LDS Church History Vol II, p. 323] (8)
While in Painesville, Smith visited with "Sister Harriet Howe," the wife of former editor Eber D. Howe. Mr. Howe apparently gave up his vocal criticism of the Mormons after publishing Mormonism Unvailed twelve months before. He resigned as editor of the Painesville Telegraph at the beginning of 1835.
