Phelps’s communication, which was published in the Nauvoo Neighbor and Times and Seasons over JS’s name, was another effort to obtain redress for the losses suffered by the Saints in Missouri in the 1830s. Invoking passages from Missouri’s constitution and statute law, the “fri[e]ndly hint” given was that the “many worthy people” of Missouri should “use all consistent means, to urge the state, for her honor, prosperity and good name, to restore every person, she or her citizens have expelled from her limits, to their rights, and pay them all damage!” (“A Friendly Hint to Missouri,” Nauvoo Neighbor, 13 Mar. 1844, [2]; “A Friendly Hint to Missouri,” Times and Seasons, 15 Mar. 1844, 5:473–474.)
