JS, Journal, 13–14 May 1839. The business may have included arranging for Granger to purchase land for the church in Lee County, Iowa Territory, from Isaac Galland.
Mulholland copied his own 29 May 1839 letter to Edward Partridge on page 15 of JS Letterbook 2, making that the earliest likely copying date for documents he subsequently copied but that had dates preceding 29 May.
