This is a cony of the 25 hooks or sections of the original diaries of Samuel W. Richards , which cover the neriod 1839-1574. The spelling and other markings ar® reproduced as nearly like the originals as is

possible in s typewritten copy, Where & wo crossed out by the

author this is noted as follows: Along (sic). If a word was so spelled that it night b* mistaken for an error of the typist , it was treated as on p. 10, Friday l6: pecies (sic), hut if it was easier to correct the

error hy adding a letter as on p. 3: nhelae(d)M , this ws lone. 1 author always misspelled a giver, word , no attention was given to it after the first tine. All insertions hy the tyoist are in ( ) end if the

author used ( ), th«se vrere followed hy (sic). The original diary was lightly "aged in -oencil , and the page from which the cony was made is that between the notations (p.2 6) and the next one (p.27).

The general features of the originals may he thus described : Most

of the v/riting is in ink, hut some is in nencil and badly blurred. The writing is, in general, somewhat cramped and irregular so that some letters were difficult to interpret with certainty. Th» hooks v»re rather narrow and the writing was close between lines so that letters w°re some- times interlocked. Brief notes on the individual hooks follow: (Acc. :!o.

means penciled number inserted in upper left corner or on front cover;

fc F in	notes	means	o ixctt on	.ese hooks	had pockets on inside hack cover
hold, notes,	amid flaps on	cover to	hold, hook together when not in use.)

Journal of travels to Hauvoo Commencing 1843 Book 2

I Samuel was horn in the town (of) Richmond State of Massachu(etts)

(hook torn) in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & twenty four on the ninth day of the eighth month called August.

My parents belonging to the Congregational is ts I was brought up strictly after the order of that sect. When at the age of about 11 years I experienced a change (called religion) (sic) under the preaching of the Methodist order From that time forth I felt an interest in the cause of truth and my desires for righteousness were increased and I began to take pleasure in living according to the principles of right as they (p. 3) were enforced upon my mind, when by the goodness of God in the summer of I836 I was permited to hear the sound of the Gospel by the voice of Joseph Young an Elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints tut by the world called Mormons , which Church was organized in the State of Hew York on the 6th of April I83O by commandment of the Lord.

Some time elapsed before I again had the nrivelege of hearing the truth of God spoken of by one of that Society nor did I untill the return of my Rather from Kirtland Ohio in the fall of 1837 , where he had been ane (and?) embraced the faith of that Society. (p. 4) He having been ordained to the office of an High Priest commenced preaching the faith of Christ to that township though by most of them it was rejected, it was hartily received by some of his connexion.

Haveing become satisfied with the doctrine which believed from the first I united with them by being baptized in water for the remission of sins the 14th of Oct. I838 which ordinance I received at the hand of my

father, and was confirmed by him the spine day

Ever after I continued in the enjoyments of the blessings of the G-ospel of peace

Though several were baptized at (p.5) different times they were net organized into a branch.

We were occasionally visited by Elders traveling in that region untill the winter of 1339 when Elder James Burnham came to us and commenced preaching in Vest Stockbridge the adjoining village where he obtained quite a number of converts to the faith of Jesus Christ and were baptized according to the gospel.

As he was about to leave to return home it was deemed proper to or- ganize them into a branch and the members of Richmond to unite with them which was done and called the Union branch of Richmond and West Stockbridge. (p. 6) From that time forth we had Ministers ordained among us who con- tinued to instruct us in the right ways of the Lord and build us up in the most holy faith while the gifts and blessings uf the Gospel were made manifest in our midst The Spirit of the Lord was with us to the cor.vinsing of others of the truth of God's work who united with us. Traveling Elders frequently called upon us and strengthend us in faith

On the 13th of June 1841 a special conference was called for the purpose of transacting business and V. Richards, (one of the twelve) presided (p. 7) Several ordinations took place at this time. Myself being ordained to the office of a Priest I soon commenced ny official duties among them and continued to preach, and exhort the Saints to per- severance and faithfulness in well doing. Remained with them untill the fall of 1842 when I left for the state of New York on business but returned

Soon as my health would allow I engaged with the family makeing preparations togather with the saints, were prospered exceedingly insomuch that we bid farewell to (p. 9) Richmond friends who mourned while we rejoiced to leave home and kindred at 2 oclock Oct 24th 1843 for the City of Fauvoo.

(p. 12) Finding ourselves now located in the City cf Nauvoo we were satisfied to a good degree, with the prosperity which had attended us and our hearts were made glad, that the desires thereof had thus far been satisfied.

I immediately engaged in the common duties of life & continued therein.

partakfcing of the priveleges and blessings peculiar to the saints, their society, particularly of the young haveing joined with the choir, which was highly esteemed au<? enjoyed The voice of the Prophet I had long desired* to hear and was now favored with his frequent instructions in common with the saints.

At the age of 19 years & 5 months I was (p. 13) On the 7th of January 1844, 1-wae ordained into the Quorums of seventies by bro Joseph Young and council, from which course many blessings were derived.

The Church now seemed to prosper and increase in Union and faith

Much instruction and doctrine was frequently given to the Church by Presidents Joseph & Hyrum Smith who appeared more than usualy engaged for the saints, but notwithstanding their zeal for the spiritual prosperity of the people Evil spirits began to disturb the peace of the saints. It was soon assertained that there was a. conspiracy for the destruction of the . Smiths, but upon public announcement it seemed to abate for a time 14)

The 6th of April dra\:ing near preperations were being made for the annual Conference of the Saints. The Grove a little East of the Temple was select- ed for the meeting ground, seats were made, and necessary arrangements for the congregation.

I anticipated much haveing never yet been in a conference of the Saints, Ufor were my anticipations in vain.

The Morn of the 6th arrived and a vast concourse of people were assem- bled on the ground, the Prophet, Patriarch, and most of the Twelve were present. Much instruction was given to the Church dureing the Conference. President Higdon spoke (p. If) the Major part of two days upon the text "The Church of Christ", which, was then before him.

he traced it in its various windings from its organization untill the present time, "bringing into view the foundation of kingdoms, lav/s, gcverments, &c showing that he who was subordinate to the laws of God was far above the laws of Man that they could not reach him & were not for him, but for transgressors.

The Prophet and others participated in the exercises of the Conference giveing instruction rather than ocupying the time in adjustment of differ- ences which was thought would be the case. Dr Foster att°m^tea to intrude upon the congregation near the close by speaking in defence of his character (p. 16) which he thought had been injured by the Prophet and others who had exposed his career to the public. There being but little attention paid to him he found his labour was in vain and ceased.

The Conference closed haveing had a joyful tine together being made glad by the spirit of God which was with them.

The time will long be remembered it being the last conference of ihe church at which the Prophet Joseph presided. (p. 17)

Soon after the Conference was over a church was organized in the city by William and Wilson Lav; Robert and Charles Foster, Ivings Cole and others for its leaders. Secret Meetings were held by them that they might the better lay their plans to destroy the Smiths. Upon considerat ion they deemed it advisable to issue a Paper from the City that they might the more extensively prejudice the Public mind aginst us and bring destruction upon the city. About the first of June the first paper was issued, called the "Eauvoo Sxpositer. Its principles being false, and design to bring our Enemies upon us, it was on the 8th of June taken into consideration the Printing of said paper by the City (p. 13) Council and after Proper deliberation was
