This payment, made on 27 April 1829, was the second payment JS made on the property. Oliver Cowdery may have assisted with a sixty-four-dollar payment made on 6 April. Joseph Knight Jr. wrote that at some point during the translation JS requested fifty dollars of his father. Joseph Knight Sr. did not have that much available, but he went to Joseph Knight Jr., who sold a lot and sent JS a wagon, apparently in an effort to help JS raise the fifty dollars.

Early revelations were often personal enough that recipients or people close to them retained copies. Several Knight family members as well as Oliver Cowdery were living in Jackson County, Missouri, in late 1832 when this revelation was typeset. It is reasonable to assume that one of them provided a copy of the revelation to the compilers of the Book of Commandments, though no such copy has survived.
