Transcription

. . . when the Prophet left Kirtland the following winter, he left behind some unpaid bills resulting from his mercantile business for which he had not received sufficient income to liquidate the purchasing costs. Some of the faithful Saints assisted him, but insufficient funds were raised, and he was forced to leave without clearing up all his outstanding debts.
