“Near the end of Helaman’s letter, he expressed some frustration that the government ‘does not grant us more strength’ suggesting that ‘some faction in the government’ was not sending ‘more men to our assistance’ even though he had sent a message to Pahoran requesting aid (Alma 58:34, 36, 4). [Captain] Moroni had been wondering about the breakdown of communications also. At once he sat down and sent an urgent dispatch to Zarahemla, addressed directly to the chief of state, urging that help be sent to Helaman without further delay” (Nibley, Since Cumorah, 322–23).
