According to Willard Richards, Young “suggested we lay over the title of the book” for a decision at some later point. (Richards, Journal, 4 Oct. 1845.)

It is unclear if a document was written directly in response to Young’s request. Nothing as expansive as what Young envisioned was produced, but a circular prepared by Clayton and several members of the Quorum of the Twelve a week later contained many of the elements Young called for, announcing “the exodus of the Nation of the only true Israel from these U. S.” and condemning “the ranklings of violence and intolerence and religious and political strife that have long been waking up in the bosom of this nation.” Additionally, though there is no evidence he knew about the council discussion, in the 25 October 1845 edition of the New-York Messenger Orson Pratt reprinted his letter to the editor of the New-York Daily Tribune condemning the treatment of the Saints. The reprinted letter was followed by an article titled “End of American Liberty,” which published some of the recent correspondence between Young and government representatives.
