Footnotes
Insertion in the handwriting of Thomas Bullock. On 12 May 1844, during a meeting of the new church led by William Law, Francis M. Higbee “read a series of resolutions” that criticized JS. These resolutions, or a version of them, may have been the same ones later printed in the Nauvoo Expositor on 7 June 1844. Some of the published resolutions characterized JS’s financial dealings as unjust, deceitful, and speculative. (“The New Church,” and “We Stated Last Week,” Warsaw [IL] Signal, 15 May 1844, [2]; “Resolutions,” Nauvoo Expositor, 7 June 1844, [2].)
