Wilford Woodruff recorded the following account:

"The evening after I arrived in Kirtland several of the brethren came in and talked with Brother Joseph, and asked what they should do, for they had not means to bear their expenses from there to Missouri. Brother Joseph said, 'I am going to have some money soon.'

The next morning he received a letter containing a hundred and fifty dollars."
