Mormon History, Jan 2, 1847. Saturday.

[William Clayton Journal] At the store regulating the books and making out [Newel K.] Whitney and [Edwin D.] Woolley's current [accounts]. About 2 o'clock Sarah [Whitney?] came and said her mother wanted me. Moroni had fell into the fire and burned himself very bad. I went home and found as she said. His face very badly burned, large blisters round his left eye. And burned all over the left side of his head and neck. I immediately applied some consecrated oil and ordered them to keep it on all the time. I then returned to the store. Evening President Young came and took his hardware bill, Domestic Drilling &c. About 8 o'clock I went home . . .
