Although the authorization designated Thompson as a member of the “traveling committee,” he was apparently not expected to travel but rather to compose the history based on what Babbitt and Snow compiled. (Snow, Journal, 1838–1841, 50–54.)
Snow, Erastus. Journals, 1835–1851; 1856–1857. CHL. MS 1329, box 1, fds. 1–3.

Mulholland copied his own 29 May 1839 letter to Edward Partridge on page 15 of JS Letterbook 2, making that the earliest likely copying date for documents he subsequently copied but that had dates preceding 29 May.

Although Snow gathered a few affidavits describing the difficulties in Missouri, the committee was apparently unable to obtain additional material or complete the proposed history. (Snow, Journal, 1838–1841, 57–65, 75.)

At a conference held on 24 April 1839, Mulholland was appointed clerk pro tempore. His appointment evidently continued through the May 1839 general conference. (Minutes, 24 Apr. 1839; Minutes, 4–5 May 1839.)
