Joseph Smith made no mention of this visitation in his journal.

Famous quotes containing the word witness:
“Hang there, my verse, in witness of my love.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The first promise exchanged by two beings of flesh was at the foot of a rock that was crumbling into dust; they took as witness for their constancy a sky that is not the same for a single instant; everything changed in them and around them, and they believed their hearts free of vicissitudes. O children! always children!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
