The Saints buy land in a swamp land called Commerce. They drain the swamps, build farmlands and change the name to Nauvoo. They write a charter and encourage the Saints to build their new homes in Illinois. The Apostles are called to England and other parts of Europe. Orson Hyde travels to Jerusalem to dedicate it for the gathering of Israel. No revelations are given, but we get a lot of discourses, important doctrinal developments, and the beginning of proxy work for the dead.
