    Pratt referred to the upcoming pan-Indian council that was first reported to the council by Jonathan Dunham on 18 March 1845. (Council of Fifty, “Record,” 18 Mar. 1845.)

    In March 1844 Fielding was appointed by JS and Hyrum Smith as the financial agent of the church in Great Britain. He returned to Nauvoo with a company of English immigrants on 26 March 1845. Shortly thereafter, possibly as early as 27 March, he was apparently appointed to return to Great Britain. Fielding left Nauvoo likely sometime in late June or early July 1845 and arrived at Liverpool on 21 September 1845. (Letter of Attorney, JS and Hyrum Smith to Amos Fielding, Nauvoo, IL, 13 Mar. 1844, copy, JS Collection, CHL; Clayton, Journal, 27 Mar. 1845; Richards, Journal, 27 Mar. 1845; Kimball, Journal, 27 Mar. 1845; Amos Fielding, Alleghany City, PA, to Brigham Young, 25 July 1845, in Nauvoo Neighbor, 13 Aug. 1845, [2]–[3]; Stratton, Diary, 27 Sept. 1845.)
