Having been carefully kept by owners for the past century, some valuable manuscripts, among them ten pages of the Book of Abraham, part of which is in the handwriting of the Prophet Joseph Smith, have been secured and turned over to the Church Historian's Office.

. . . .In addition to the manuscript of the book of Abraham, there were many other interesting documents. Included in the handwriting of Joseph Smith are a writ of habeas corpus, prepared by the Prophet while he was incarcerated in Liberty Jail. Another is the history of Joseph Smith's incarceration in the jail, a facsimile of the Book of Abraham, an inventory of the Prophet's property, his credit statement on Nov. 8, 1839, and an objection to Joseph Smith's discharge in bankruptcy.
