and now as Moroni had supposed

that there should be men sent to the city of Nephihah,

he supposed that they would easily maintain that city.

for ye ought to be beloved;

and begin to be up and doing, and send forth food and men

unto us, and also unto Helaman,

that he may support those parts of our country which he has regained,

and that we may also recover the remainder of our possessions in these parts,

until we have first cleansed our inward vessel,

yea, even the great head of our government.

and also to Helaman.
