   The book contains no similar entries from JS, who did not begin an actual journal until November 1832. JS may have used the book for the note simply because it was accessible when he wanted to make a permanent record of the event. (See JS, Journal, 27 Nov. 1832.)

   The eight documents that follow this note in Revelation Book 2—also likely copied before 1 April—are revelations from December 1831 through March 1832, several of which are out of chronological order. At some point, Williams listed this document in the book’s index as “Ordination of Jesse Gause & his call to be councillor.” It is unclear why Rigdon was not also listed in the index entry. Perhaps when Williams compiled the index, he only looked at the text on p. 10 of the book, which says “Chose this day and ordained brother Jesse Gause”; Rigdon’s name is listed on the next page.
