15 July 1841: ''Times and Seasons'' sample dialogue:
<blockquote>
Mr. M. I have always thought that there had been a more enlightened people on this continent, than the present Indians. The remains of ancient buildings, monuments &c., are evident proofs on this point.

Mr. R. There can be no doubt on this subject. In the recent researches in Central America, the ruins of very large and splendid buildings have been found, but it does not necessarily follow that the Book of Mormon is true.<ref>{{TS1|article=Dialogue on Mormonism No II|vol=2|num=18|date=15 July 1841|pages=472&ndash;474}} {{link|url=http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/BOMP&CISOPTR=3015&REC=11}}</ref>
