power of Atorney to me I was in London at the time

a welcome reception. I am always glad to hear from

still be more Highly prized. Through the goodness of God
I have been enabled to get out of press 3000 copies of the
Book of Doctrine & Covenants & in Less than 48 hours
after the sheets went to the Bindery. I entered the work at
stationers Hall in London & secured the copy wright &
got a certificate of the same. I had to Enter it
according to the New act passed in 1844 which requires
the person who publishes the work to fill up a certain printed
document & appear in person & sent present the Book &
sign the document in the presence of the Clerk of the
Stationers Hall. Any Person so receiving Copy wrights
can sign over said copy wright to any person afterward
whenever it is required & it will be legal. this I am
ready to sign over to you at any time you wish &
to do all business in your name whare law will
admit. Laws & circumstances in many respects in this land require
