At a meeting of the
Council of the Twelve Apostles, at which eight of
the Council and Counselor Wells were present, it
was unanimously voted: That we recommend
to the First Presidency the importance of translating
and publishing a stereotyped edition of the Book
of Mormon in the Spanish language; that Brother Moses Thatcher be recommended to you as a suitable
person to supervise the translation, stereotyping and
printing of it, with the privilege of calling to his
aid such help as he may need. Also, that we
ask the Trustee in Trust to appropriate sufficient
of the Church funds to accomplish the above-
mentioned publication.
