[1]This minute book numbers Relief Society meetings in sequence for each of the three years it covers. For 1842, the minutes have no record for the seventeenth meeting, which would have been held at some point between August 31 and September 28. It is also possible that there was no additional meeting and that the scribe accidentally skipped from sixteen to eighteen in numbering the meetings.

[2]In the entry he made in Joseph Smith’s journal for the day following this meeting, scribe Willard Richards recorded, “This day Sister Emma began to be sick with fever; consequently president Joseph kept in the house and with her all day.” Joseph and Emma were both sick for the next week. (Joseph Smith, Journal, Sept. 29–Oct. 7, 1842, in JSP, J2:159–162.)
