6th I visited the office of the Kirtland Safety Society
& saw the first money that was issued by the
Treasurer or society it was given to Brother
Bump (in exchange for other notes) who was the
first to circulate it. I also herd President Joseph
Smith jr declare in the presence of F Williams,
D Whitmer, S. Smith, W. Parrish, & others in the
Deposit office that he had receieved that
morning the word of the Lord upon the subject of
the Kirtland Safety Society he was alone in a
room by himself & he had not ownly the voice
of the spirit upon the subject but even an
audable voice. He did not tell us at ^that^ time what
the LORD said upon the subject but remarked
that if we would give heed to the commandments
the Lord had given this morning all would be
well. May the Lord bless Brother Joseph with
all the Saints & support the above named
institution & protect it so that every weapen
formed against it may be broaken & come to
nought while the Kirtland Safety Society shall
become the greatest of all institutions on EARTH
