In June 1829, before this revelation was dictated, Martin Harris - TopicsExpress



          

In June 1829, before this revelation was dictated, Martin Harris and Joseph Smith talked with several printers in Palmyra and Rochester, New York, about printing the Book of Mormon. They finally settled on using E. B. Grandin of Palmyra. Harris initiated the negotiations and planned to pay for the printing, according to John H. Gilbert, the compositor who assisted Grandin. Joseph Smith likely dictated the text of this revelation sometime after the negotiations in June and before Harris mortgaged his property to Grandin as payment for the publication. This revelation, directed to Harris, clarified doctrines regarding the nature of God, Christs atonement, repentance, and the afterlife, and it counseled Harris on a variety of matters. Its immediate purpose was to assure payment for the printing of the Book of Mormon.
