|H=David Whitmer's rebuttal to John Murphy's June 1880 claims regarding his experience as a Book of Mormon witness
|S=David Whitmer was interviewed by John Murphy in June 1880. Murphy reported that Whitmer claimed that the angel that showed him the plates "had no appearance or shape" and that Whitmer saw "nothing, in the way you understand it." Upon seeing the published interview, Whitmer strongly objected to the way Murphy had portrayed him, and published a proclamation refuting Murphy's characterization of his experience as a witness.
|L1=Question: Did David Whitmer tell John Murphy that the angel Moroni "had no appearance or shape" and that he saw "nothing"?
|L2=David Whitmer (1878): "I saw them just as plain as I see this bed"
|L3=David Whitmer (1884): "I saw with these eyes and I heard with these ears"
|L4=David Whitmer (1887): "'He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear;' it was no delusion!"
