Kansas City Times, April 11, 1895 (transcription taken from Kyle R. Walker, "Katharine Smith Salisbury's Recollections of Joseph's Meetings with Moroni," BYU Studies 41 no. 3 [2002]:5-17.)
Mrs. Salisbury's Story. "I stand before you a remnant of the family that brought forth the sacred record, to bear my testimony. "I can remember the time this work commenced, that my brother had the vision, that he saw the angel and talked with him. After he had his first vision, he lay in bed one night studying what he had seen. And his room became light, and it grew lighter and lighter until an angel descended and stood by the side of his bed. He did not touch the floor, but he stood in the air. He was dressed in white raiment, of whiteness beyond anything Joseph had never seen in his life, and had a girdle about his waist. He saw his hands and wrists, and they were pure and white, and he talked with him. He said that he was Moroni, and that he was sent as a messenger to tell him concerning the record that was hidden in the hill Conoran [sic] which was a history of the people that once inhabited this contingent, and also that it was the pure gospel of Christ. That the gospel that he had had been adulterated, and this was the pure gospel of Jesus Christ, and would be preached in these last days.
