    Power of Attorney to Amasa Lyman, 28 February 1843

    The previous summer, when Orson Pratt was excommunicated and dropped from the Quorum of the Twelve, JS directed that Lyman be ordained in his place. On 20 January 1843, after Pratt had returned to favor, JS instructed the apostles to reinstate Pratt to his standing in the quorum, explaining that he would make Lyman a counselor in the First Presidency. At the time, JS was apparently considering bringing charges against Sidney Rigdon in a church court, and JS probably intended for Lyman to replace Rigdon. However, JS waited more than two weeks before informing Lyman of his intentions, and shortly after that, JS and Rigdon reconciled.
