3 Nephi 3:1

And now it came to pass that

in the sixteenth year from the coming of Christ,

Lachoneus, the governor of the land, received an epistle

from the leader and the governor of this band of robbers;

and these were the words which were written, saying:

3 Nephi 3:2

Lachoneus, most noble and chief governor of the land,

behold, I write this epistle unto you,

and do give unto you exceedingly great praise

because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people,

in maintaining that which ye suppose to be your right and liberty;

yea, ye do stand well, as if ye were supported by the hand of a god,

in the defence of your liberty, and your property, and your country,

or that which ye do call so.
