This serialized history drew on the journals herein beginning with the 4 July 1855 issue of the Deseret News and with the 3 January 1857 issue of the LDS Millennial Star.
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.

Appeal was allowed from a justice of the peace court within twenty days of decision, which JS gave at the 10:00 a.m. session of the mayor’s court on 10 March 1843. As part of the appeal, the appellant was required to give a bond within this period to cover court costs. Brink’s bond was deemed “informal” in that it was not presented until after 11:00 a.m., which exceeded, by an hour or more, the twenty days allowed for reception of the bond. The law provided for a “reasonable” extension, however, if a bond was rejected for “informality or insufficiency,” and later in the day JS allowed Brink’s appeal to go forward.
