Palmyra, New York:  Mr. Joseph Smith and Mr. Oliver Cowdery have completed their translation of the gold plates.  Much of the work of translation was done in Harmony, Pennsylvania, but after trouble from their neighbors they moved to the Whitmer home in Fayette, where the work was completed.
     Mr. Smith, and his friend Martin Harris, struck a deal with Egbert B. Grandin, manager and principal owner of the Wayne Sentinel, to print the book for $3,000.  Since none of he parties have $3,000 cash, Harris struck a deal with Grandin.  If the payment is not made within eighteen months, Grandin is authorized to sell the Harris farm at auction to secure the cash.
     As the printing begins, great care has been taken to safeguard the manuscript.  Mr. Cowdery has transcribed a second copy of the manuscript.  John H. Gilbert, the typesetter, reported that Mr. Smith's brother, Hyrum, brought the first 24 pages of the manuscript hidden under his vest, with vest and coat closely buttoned over it. 
     The manuscript is picked up each night and returned to the Smith residence.  Mrs. Smith, Joseph's mother reported, "I then placed it in a chest, which was so high that when placed under the bed, the whole weight of the bedstead rested upon the lid. Having made this arrangement, we felt quite at rest, and that night, the family retired to rest at the usual hour."

     In Part V, Parley returned to Columbia County, New York, in search of one "whom my heart had long loved."
     After sharing some of his philosophy with Thankful Halsey, Parley writes: "'In view of all these things,' said I to her, 'If you still love me and desire to share my forture you are worthy to be my wife.  If not, we will agree to be friends forever; but part to meet no more in time'."
     "I have loved you during three years' absense," said Thankful, 'and I never can be happy without you."
     Parley remained in the area and worked for the next few months.  On September 9, 1827, Parley married Thankful Halsey.  A few weeks later he and his new bride returned to his new home in Ohio.  He says: "The following spring found me 21 years of age, married and settled in a log dwelling, in the midst of a clearing made with my own hands, in the place where I had spent the previous winter in
solitude."
