While at Far West I happened in John Carl's or the Church store, and my attention was called by Vincent Knight who was opening some boxes of goods. Said he, "Joseph will be much pleased with these. He has been very uneasy about the translation of the Bible and the Egyptian Records. Here they are" placing them upon the table. Said he to me, "If you will take one of these I will take the other and we will carry them over to Joseph's office" There we found Joseph and six or seven other brethren. Joseph was much pleased with the arrival of the books, and said to us, "Sit down and we will read to you from the translations of the Book of Abraham" Oliver Cowdery then read until he was tired when Thomas Marsh read making altogether about two hours. I was much interested in the work.
