130 years ago today - Jun 7, 1888

[Wilford Woodruff]
In Company with G Q Cannon & F D Richards I visited Edward Isaacson who is a Converted Jewish Rabbi Now translating the Book of Mormon into the Jewish Language at the Historians office. I have Employed him to do this work. It is the first time any one has attempted to translate the Book of Mormon into the Hebrew or Jewish Language.
