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.

In his response to the letter mentioned the previous day, JS, through William W. Phelps, told Hotchkiss that “unprincipled men and disappointed demagogues . . . composed that disgraceful and disgracing, as well as mobocratic assemblage” at Carthage and that “patriots and honest men generally frown upon such audacious proceedings.” JS assured Hotchkiss that “with the smiling prospects around us at present, success seems certain, and with the blessings of Jehovah we shall reap the reward of virtue and goodness.” (JS, Nauvoo, IL, to Horace Hotchkiss, New York City, NY, 12 Oct. 1843, JS Collection, CHL.)
As architect of the Nauvoo House, Woodworth was involved in the Wisconsin pinery operation managed jointly by the Nauvoo House Association and temple building committee.

This entry actually refers to Charles Drown, who was charged with perjury and was in the custody of Nauvoo city marshal Horace Eldredge at the time of this habeas corpus hearing. Because of illness, Drown did not appear at the hearing this day, though the municipal court conducted business relating to his situation. The court met again four days later to continue the hearing. (Willard Richards, Writ for Charles Drown, 10 Oct. 1843, Nauvoo, IL, Records, CHL; JS, Journal, 17 Oct. 1843.)
The phrenologist was probably the man with whom JS debated the following day. JS had earlier opposed phrenological demonstrations in Nauvoo. (JS, Journal, 6 May and 14 Oct. 1843; Clayton, Journal, 14 Oct. 1843.)
