From New York City LDS History
- New York Commercial Advertiser, 15 October 1838
Mormons Bound from the East to the West. The last Bangor Mechanic and Farmer says that it learns that a company of about fifty Mormons are soon to start for the land of promise in the West, from Camden in that state. They have comfortable covered wagons, and intend to take their provisions and cooking apparatus along with them and board themselves on the road.—They have expended about three thousand dollars for the outfit, which, perhaps ought to be taken as an evidence, so far, at least, of their sincerity in the belief of the doctrines of Joe Smith and his book of Mormon.
