| Listen up |

Hearken unto my words and behold
I will make known unto you what ye shall do as it shall be pleasing unto
me |
|
|
| Keep the agreements
about the farms |
|
for verily I say unto you it must
needs be that ye let the bargain stand that ye have made concerning those
farms until it be so fulfilled |
|
|
| Obligated for both |
|
behold ye are holden for the one
even so likewise |
|
|
Enemy is obligated
Don't pay more on it now |
|
thine advisary is holden for the
other wherefore it must needs be that ye pay no more money for the present
time until the contract be fulfilled |
|
|
| Smiths to move in when enemy leaves |
|
and let mine aged servant
Joseph and his family go into the house after thine advisary is gone |
|
|
| Build house for Ezra |
|
and let my servant Ezra [92] board
with him and let all the brethren immediately assemble together to put <up>
an house for my servant Ezra |
|
|
| Frederick's family
remain, provide for them |
|
and let my servant Fredericks family
remain and let the house be prepared and their want[s] be supplied |
|
|
| When Frederick
returns, give him a deed |
|
and when my Servant Frederick
returns from the west behold and lo he desirth to take his family in mine
own due time unto the west let that which belongeth unto my servant Frederick
be secured unto him by deed or bond and thus he willeth that the brethren
reap the good thereof |
|
|
| Joseph
Smith Sr. manage the farm, with help |
|
let mine aged servant
Joseph govern the things of the farm and provide for the families and let
him have healp in asmuch as he standest in need |
|
|
Ezra repent publicly
and be ordained
Go on mission with others to border lands
Great work to do |
|
let my servant Ezra humble himself
and at the conference meeting he shall be ordained unto power from on high
and he shall go from thence if he be obedient unto my commandments and proclaim
my gospel unto the western regions with my servants that must go forth even
unto the borders by <the> Lamanites for behold I have a great work
for them to do and it shall be given unto you to know what ye shall do at
the conference meeting even so amen— |
|
|
| About the money |
¶ |
What shall the brethren do with
the monies |
|
|
| Get land, save money
to buy land in the West |
|
ye shall go forth and seek dilligently
among the brethren and obtain lands and save the money that it may be consecrated
to purchase lands in the west for an everlasting inheritance even so Amen |
