Transcription

"Inhabitants of the Moon are more of a uniform size than the inhabitants of the Earth, being about 6 feet in height. They dress very much like the Quaker style & are quite general in style or the one fashion of dress.

They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand years."

This is the description of them as given by Joseph the Seer, and he could "See" whatever he asked the Father in the name of Jesus to see.
