Footnotes

  1. [255]

    The council had discussed completing the Nauvoo House at its previous meeting. Brigham Young “proposed that arrangments be made forthwith to put the works in operation,” but it is not clear from the minutes what action the council took on his proposal. (Council of Fifty, “Record,” 11 Mar. 1845.)

  2. [256]

    On 14 April 1845 Lucian R. Foster, the newly appointed clerk, opened a new set of books because of problems with previous daybooks, which had hardly been used since late 1843. He likewise created a new ledger based on his own review of the old daybooks rather than relying on the one that had already been prepared by the previous clerks. (See Daybook A, Apr.–Aug. 1845; Daybook A, 1842–1845; Ledger A, 1841–1845; and Ledger B, 1842–1843, Nauvoo House Association, Records, CHL.)
