[Nauvoo Temple] James Whitehead added as a clerk to the Temple Recorders staff. Later John P. McEwan was appointed assistant clerk. On this date William Player also set the first plinth, or moonstone, on the southeast corner. The moonstones were deeply carved relief of a crescent moon, facing downward, with a man's face in profile. Each stone was cut from solid stone. The first plinth was cut by William Jones.
