Discourse, 6 May 1843, as Reported by Levi Richards

Source Note

JS, Discourse, [, IL, 6 May 1843]. Featured version inscribed [ca. 6 May 1843] in Levi Richards, Journal, 19 Apr.–13 May 1843, pp. [7]–[8]; handwriting of ; Levi Richards, Papers, CHL.
Small book measuring 6¼ × 4 inches (16 × 10 cm), with eight leaves sewn together through three needle holes. The upper left corner of the verso of the sixth leaf bears a paper manufacturer’s embossment. Fifteen pages are inscribed in black and blue ink, with one graphite redaction.
The journal, along with other papers, presumably remained in possession of the Richards family until it was donated to the Church Historian’s Office (now CHL) sometime during the tenure of Andrew Jenson, who began working in the office in 1891 and served as assistant church historian from 1897 to 1941.
