Truman Wait, apparently one of the first Latter-day Saint missionaries to preach in Andover, baptized six individuals in the area in 1834. James M. Adams reported in his 1841 letter to Don Carlos Smith that two people were baptized in Andover in a short period of time.

“Covenents” refers to the Doctrine and Covenants, an 1835 publication of JS’s revelations. (Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints: Carefully Selected from the Revelations of God, comp. by JS, Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, and Frederick G. Williams [Kirtland, OH: F. G. Williams, 1835].)
Since 1840, requests were being made for new printings of the Doctrine and Covenants and other church publications so that they would be more widely available. (See, for example, Letter from Orson Hyde and John E. Page, 1 May 1840; and Letter from Brigham Young, 7 May 1840.)
