In his previous letter to JS, Heywood reported that there were “quite a number” of people in Quincy who believed and that some of them were scheduled to be baptized on 11 February 1844. (Letter from Joseph L. Heywood, 7 Feb. 1844.)
Heywood’s brother-in-law and business partner was Oliver Kimball. Kimball married Sarah Heywood on 18 April 1841. In his previous letter to JS, Heywood wrote, “My Bro & Sister Kimball often express a desire to become acquantd with you— they are both very friendly & I think are only waiting for a little ‘troubling of the waters’ to cause them to obey the Gospel.” (“Heywood, Joseph Leland,” in Jenson, Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia, 1:646; Grafton, MA, Records, Intentions of Marriage, 40; Letter from Joseph L. Heywood, 7 Feb. 1844.)

Heywood, in his previous letter to JS, wrote that men from Carthage, Illinois, had recently traveled through Quincy en route to Alton, Illinois, to obtain weapons. Heywood seemed to imply that the arms could be used against the Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, though he opined that the arms were more likely for an independent company of the state militia.
