  According to Taylor, Ivins sought to leave Nauvoo because he knew that the residents of the city had “lost all confidence in him” after he had “leaned towards” supporting William Law and then Sidney Rigdon as successors to JS. Taylor recorded that Ivins “had a first rate large brick house, brick store, and large pine board barn, on a half acre of land” that was offered to Taylor for $3,200. In consultations with other church leaders, Taylor was told to “go ahead and get it.” He wrote, “I took measures forthwith to procure it, not that I wanted to build myself up; but my idea in getting it was to keep it out of the hands of our enemies, as it was offered so cheap; and I thought the store would suit us for a Printing office.” Taylor moved into the house with his family on 10 May 1845. The first issue of the Times and Seasons printed at the new location was dated 15 May 1845. (Taylor, Journal, [Apr. 1845], 55–56; Masthead, Times and Seasons, 15 May 1845, 6:911.)
