Transcription

Did Joseph Smith, the Prophet claim to have a revelation on polygamy, or plural marriage? . . . .It is a positive fact that he did so claim and so teach and also practice. I am a living witness of the same, with me it is neither guesswork or hearsay; I had it from his own mouth; To me it was the word of the Lord. I accepted the pure and sacred principle, and was married, or sealed to him as his wife for time and all eternity, in Nauvoo 1843.
