But notwithstand[ing] my sickness I could not stop to rest for on my return I found the printing Office had stood still for about 10 day for the want of paper & the Boat was 5 days getting over the rapids during which time I went down the River with a skiff 6 miles to the Boat & got what paper we needed for the present use.

Joseph Smith is arrested as an accessory to the attempted murder of ex-Governor Liburn Boggs. Nauvoo's municipal court claims jurisdiction over Smith and discharges him. The earliest reference to the special undergarment worn by the Holy Order of the endowment reads for this date: "they have oil poured on them, and then a mark or hole cut in the breast of their shirts . . . to keep the Destroying Angel from them and their families." From the eighteenth century to the 1840's, "shirt" referred to an undergarment which was often worn with a separate, tight-fitting underpant reaching to the knees. (9)
