The council had discussed completing the Nauvoo House at its previous meeting. Brigham Young “proposed that arrangments be made forthwith to put the works in operation,” but it is not clear from the minutes what action the council took on his proposal. (Council of Fifty, “Record,” 11 Mar. 1845.)

On 14 April 1845 Lucian R. Foster, the newly appointed clerk, opened a new set of books because of problems with previous daybooks, which had hardly been used since late 1843.
