# To the Saints in Nauvoo, and Scattered Abroad

<!-- page:957 -->

This may certify that President Joseph Smith, the Trustee in Trust, for the Temple, called upon the Temple Committee on the 1st inst. to present their books and accounts for examination, and to give account of the their work at the Temple. After carefully and attentively examining and comparing their books and accounts, the Trustee expressed himself well satisfied with the labors and proceedings of the Committee, and ordered that this be published in the Times and Seasons, that the saints may know the fact and be thereby encouraged to double their exertions and forward means to roll on the building of the Temple in Nauvoo.

It was also ordered that the Recorder's Office be henceforth removed to the Committee house near the Temple; all property and means must therefore be brought to that place, where it will be recorded in due form.

WM. CLAYTON, Clerk,

and Recorder for the Temple.

Nauvoo, October 11, 1842.
