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.

Young apparently felt that the responsibility of the Twelve to collect funds for the temple and Nauvoo House would require so much of their time that they would not be able to support their families, and therefore they should be allowed to use some of the donations for this purpose.

Quakers referenced 1 Corinthians 9:9 to support their belief that ministers of the gospel should receive enough to supply their needs from individuals who heard and accepted their preaching rather than through an indiscriminate, state-supported collection of funds.
