Bro Joseph said that it was necessary that a subscription
should be opened to procure money to pay for the use of the house that
meetings were held in the past season. |

to raise the funds. |

|
| John P. Greene to Parkman |
¶ |
next thing in question was the expediency of John P Green [Greene]
going to parkman and to take the charge of that branch of the Church, it
was decided that [20] he Should have letters of recommendation and an Epistle
to that church and take the oversight thereof and as soon as is convenient
move to that place |
|
Greene is likely assigned to replace Noah Packard, who left on a mission to the East on January 3. |
| Vienna Jacques, William Hobert |
¶ |
it was also decided that Sister Veinna Jaquish [Vienna Jacques] Should not
immediately procede on her Journy to Zion but to wait untill William Hobert
gets ready and go in company with him |
|
William Hobert was a typesetter, approximately twenty years old when he arrived in Independence to work for the Star. "[W]hile on his way to Independence, in May last, he was afflicted with a delirium, which for a short time entirely deprived him of his natural intellect." In fact, Hobert was "deranged in mind some two or three times previous to his death." EMS 2, no. 15 (Dec. 1833): 117. |
