| General Note | "It is claimed that Lucy Wright ... took these instructions from Ann Lee ..., and in turn communicated them spiritually to the 'instrument' (medium) who copied them. The identity of the inspired instrument is not given. McLean states that the book was 'kept by the elders'"--Richmond.
"The first part of this book contains an interesting interview of the writer [medium] with Mother Ann, March 1, 1841. The second, is Mother's word to the care-takers; third to the children and the fourth to the Elders"--p. [2]
