Transcription

Some little time after, he wrote asking me to take a team and fetch Joseph and himself to his father's house, in Fayette, Seneca County, New York, where they would continue the translation. I consulted with my father who consented that I should take a team as requested, and bring them home. I was a little over two and half days going, and traveled over 40 miles the first day, and met them on the third day at the head of Cayuga Lake. Oliver told me, they knew just when I started, where I put up at night and even the name on the sign board of the hotel where I stayed each night, for he had asked Joseph to look in the Seer stone, that he did so and told him all these particulars of my journey.
