Southport Telegraph on 30 September 1845

C. Latham Sholes, who patented the first typewriter, viewed the plates and published his observations in the Southport Telegraph on 30 September 1845: "The plates were shown us, and we visited and examined the spot from which they purport to have been taken." Sholes was so bewildered by the circumstances that he announced that he could reach no conclusions. In his judgement Strang was "honest and earnest in all he said" and his witnesses were "among the most honest and intelligent in that neighborhood"―altogether it was enough to "stagger" him, he wrote. Other descriptions of the plates were minute, as the account of one stranger who described the plates in the Gospel Herald, 23 September 1847, as "three small pieces of brass about 2 1/2 inches long by 1 1/4 inches wide, and about the thickness of a piece of tin, fastened together at one corner by a ring passing through them." Another visitor described them in the Gospel Herald, 26 October 1848: "The Voree plates, the wonder of many, I saw them and the place from whence they were taken. They are about one inch and a half by two and three-fourths, thickly covered with ancient characters of curious workmanship." Stephen Post, the brother of Warren Post, who as an outsider visited Strang so late as 3 July 1850, reveals that Strang still carried the plates everywhere he went. In retrospect of their visit together, Post wrote a detailed account now among his papers at the LDS Historical Department: "I told him I wished to see the plates if it was convenient, upon which he handed them to me from his pocket. The plates were three in number, small, about 1 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches; they were not polished very smooth before engraving, from appearance."
