Yesterday’s answer:
a.
A vision of
the Lord to Martin
On
several occasions, Joseph Smith wrote or dictated accounts of the Martin Harris
trip to New York and his meeting with Charles Anthon. Except for incidents in
which he participated, these accounts were based on information he had learned
from Martin Harris himself. According to Joseph Smith , “the Lord appeared” to
Martin Harris in a vision and showed him the remarkable work that was about to
come forth. Immediately following this vision, Harris traveled to Joseph
Smith’s home in Harmony, Pennsylvania, and advised Joseph that the Lord has
shown him that he must go to New York City with some of the “characters”.
Subsequently, Joseph Smith copied characters from the Book of Mormon plates and
provided Martin Harris with a translation of those characters. Martin Harris
then traveled to New York City and showed the characters and translation to
Professor Anthon, “a gentleman celebrated for his literary attainments.”
