[Joseph Smith]
We spent the day in translating [from Egyptian papyri] and made rapid progress.
At evening, President [Oliver] Cowdery returned from New York bringing with him a quantity of Hebrew books for the benefit of the school. He presented me with a Hebrew Bible, lexicon and grammar, also a Greek Lexicon and Webster's English Lexicon.
