3. Eliza R. Snow was one of Joseph Smith's wives. She married Joseph Smith on June 29, 1842. After Joseph Smith's death, she was married to Brigham Young in June 1844. She chose to use Joseph's name for the publication of this work.
4. Genesis 18:19. This verse was spoken by the Lord about Abraham. Eliza appears to be likening her brother Lorenzo to Abraham and perhaps praising his education of his children.
