Thus you see the lowest Number of the 4th Vol is 308
while 15 & 22 are as high as 374. Also Vol 5th No 5 as low
as 289 while No 6 as high as 413. Many of the 5th Vol were
just as they were when they came from Nauvoo not opened at all
& still they served in their Numbers as much as any other.
Their has bean som bad managemet some whare in
counting them out but the list I have given you is Just
as they now stand I had two hard days work counting them
over & I found in Vol 4th No's 11= & 10 7 numbers of the first
part of No 11 & the last part of No 10 was put together which spoiled
7 numbers of both 10 & 11. Before I left the office the Tim[es]
& Seasons were all counted out & we found a good
many spare Numbers more than would make full
volumes if you could send me 43 extra Numbers of the
14th No of the 4th Vol it would make 43 full volumes more
than what we now have here & whare you see any of
these Numbers deficient on this list & you have any of the same
being complete I suppose from the counting of them that
it was intended for 400 copies of each Vol but they very
