[Wayne Sentinel: D. P. Hurlbut is in Palmyra] as a missionary in behalf of the people of Kirtland ... investigating the origin of the Mormon sect. ... The original manuscript of the Book [of Mormon] was written some thirty years since, by a respectable clergyman, now deceased, whose name we are not permitted to give. It was designed to be published as a romance, but the work has been superadded by come modern hand--believed to be the notorious Rigdon. These particulars have been derived by Dr. Hurlbert [Hurlbut] from the widow of the author of the original manuscript.
