The letter identifies this individual only as Brother Russell, but when the editors of JS’s history fleshed out some of JS’s later remarks regarding the donations referenced in this letter, they identified Samuel Russell as the church member who brought the letter and donations to Nauvoo. (JS History, vol. D-1, 1514–1515.)
William Clayton recorded the Andover branch’s donations in the Book of the Law of the Lord on 25 January 1843, but this likely represented a recording date rather than a reception date. JS’s journal entry for 13 January implies that the goods had already been delivered by that time. (Book of the Law of the Lord, 279–280; JS, Journal, 13 Jan. 1843.)
