Pittsburgh, September 3, 1845.
Dear Brother in the Lord:
I wish to give you some information concerning the mission that was assigned Elder Brothers and myself at the April Conference. . . . We continued on our journey to Cleveland, Ohio. On this rout we met with many things of interest; we saw Mr. Martin Harris, he bore testimony to the Book of Mormon, said he wrote part of it while Mr. Joseph Smith translated it from the plate of Gold. I have not space in my letter, at this time, to enter into particulars with regard to the conversation we had with Mr. Harris.
