_Monday, 16_.--I was transacting business at the store until 10 o'clock
a. m. Then at home. In the afternoon at the printing office, in council
with Brothers Young, Kimball and Richards and others.
I published in this day's _Times and Seasons_ the following
_fac-simile_ from the Book of Abraham. [B]
[Footnote B: The _fac-simile_ referred to will be found on page 523
of Vol. IV of this History, where it is published in connection with
an explanation of the various figures on the plate and preceding the
Prophet's translation of the Book of Abraham, taken from the _Times and
Seasons_.]
[Sidenote: Attitude of the Press.]
Several of the most widely circulated papers are beginning to exhibit
"Mormonism" in its true light. The first out of a _fac-simile_ from the
Book of Abraham, has been republished both in the New York _Herald_
and in the _Dollar Week Bostonian_, as well as in the _Boston Daily
Ledger_, edited by Mr. Bartlett; together with the translation from the
Book of Abraham.
_Tuesday, 17_.--I was about home, and at the office through the day.
In the evening went to Brother John Snyder's to see Clark Leal, of
Fountain Green, concerning a quarter section of land.
