Fedb 3rd 1842 Thursday [FIGURE] A Revelation was given a
few days since for the Twelve to obtain the printi-
ng esstablishment of E Robinson & govern the
printing of the Times & Seasons & all the Church

After consulting upon the subject the quorum
appointed TElders J. Taylor & W Woodruff of
the Twelve to Edit the Times & Seasons & take
charge of the whole esstablishment under the
direction of Joseph the Seer. Accordingly I left
my station at the Nauvoo provision store &
commenced this day to labour for the Church in
the printing esstablishment. Elder Taylor &
myself spent the afternoon in taking an invoice
of the printing esstablishment & met in council
in the evening at Joseph store
