The Book of Mormon manuscript was one solid paragraph from beginning to end. Hyrum Smith and Martin Harris would sneak the manuscript pages in by day and out by night, so as not to be discovered by their enemies. Gilbert was allowed for three nights to take the pages home to punctuate but was told to leave any gramatical errors as they were. Later Hyrum, Martin, or Oliver Cowdrey would proof his additions.
