Transcription
Joseph arrived in Harmony in December. He started to work right away in copying some of the strange characters from the plates. With the use of the Urim and Thummim he was able to translate some of these...[I]t was so slow for one man to read the plates through the Urim and Thummim and then stop to write it down.
