New Yorker, 17 August 1839

Mormonism

Some disciples of [Joseph] Smith have established themselves in the neighborhood of New Egypt and other places in Monmouth co. A number of the disciples appeared there some six months ago, and have succeeded in making converts of several persons of some standing and influence; and, strange as the story seems, their numbers are increasing.
