Prior to embarking on a mission to collect funds for construction of the Nauvoo House and the temple, members of the Quorum of the Twelve signed bonds of two thousand dollars for the faithful performance of their duty. The compilers of JS’s history later identified Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, Orson Pratt, Wilford Woodruff, and George A. Smith as those who gave bonds on 30 May.
