The labels on the spines of the four volumes read respectively as follows: “Joseph Smith’s Journal—1842–3 by Willard Richards” (book 1); “Joseph Smith’s Journal by W. Richards 1843” (book 2); “Joseph Smith’s Journal by W. Richards 1843–4” (book 3); and “W. Richards’ Journal 1844 Vol. 4” (book 4). Richards kept JS’s journal in the front of book 4, and after JS’s death Richards kept his own journal in the back of the volume.

Greenhalgh later recorded that he arrived in Nauvoo from England on 20 May 1842, though internal evidence in his autobiography suggests he actually arrived in 1843. He left his pregnant wife, Mary Clough Greenhalgh, and two children in England and worked for JS in Nauvoo to pay for his family’s immigration. Mary gave birth to a daughter on 20 November 1843 and left England with her three children in 1844. The baby died en route and was buried at sea; Mary and the surviving two children arrived in Nauvoo “about the last of May” 1844. (Greenhalgh, Autobiography, 1.)
