“I Make an End of My Speaking”

W. Cleon Skousen

Amaleki now adds a postscript to his testimony. He says that about this time an expedition was organized among the people to go back to the land of Nephi. This seems almost insane in view of their recent war with the Lamanites and the fact that God had inspired Mosiah to lead the righteous out of that land. Amaleki says this expedition failed, and that was because of great contentions which arose among their leaders. The remnants or survivors returned to Zarahemla.

When a second expedition was organized, it included someone very close to Amaleki, his brother. But Amaleki had never received any word from him. Amaleki says he feels he is about to die. He also says the small plates are now completely filled up.
