[Joseph Smith Diary] [At] night we tryed three times to git keept in the name of Deciples and could not be keept. After night we found a man who would keep us for mon[e]y. Thus we see that there /is/ more place for mon[e]y than for Jesus' /Deciples or/ the Lamb of God. The name of the man is Wilson Rauben Wilson Reuben Wilson that would not keep us without mon[e]y &c. /[He] lived in China/ [Genesee County, New York]
