Joseph Smith receives a revelation (D&C 6) for Oliver Cowdery in which Cowdery's private thoughts are apparently revealed. Smith says that D&C 6 was received after "having continued [translating] for some time" . The revelation itself implies that the translation had already begun: "the words or the work which thou hast been writing are true".
