Orson Hyde’s and John Taylor’s Circular is the final piece dealing with the British and American Commercial Joint Stock Company (see The British and American Commercial Joint Stock Company in this digital collection).

Issued the day they reached Liverpool, it calls for a general conference in Manchester on Saturday, October 17, and it advises the Saints to invest “no more for the present” in the Joint Stock Company, “an Institution wholly independent of the church.” The Millennial Star for October 15, 1846, ( see this digital collection ) reprints the circular, with the change of one word and a number of changes in punctuation and capitalization.

Excerpted and edited from Peter Crawley, A Descriptive Bibliography of the Mormon Church.  Volume One, 1830-1847. (Provo, Utah: Brigham Young University, Religious Studies Center, [1997]).  Item 312, p. 351.
