Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865

from our friends in Scarborough and one from Jonathan
Hale from Kirtland. It contained an account of the

the Presidency of our quorum which was that I should
teach the Saints upon the Islands of the sea to imme-
diately sell their property and prepare themselves to go
up to the land of Zion.
