Thomas Bullock Journal - In a journal entry Thomas Bullock claims that the name of the messenger was Nephi.

BLAINE: Hmm, maybe you ought to print the version with NEPHI as the angel, Kevin, along with a source. I don't seem to find it in my book along with all the others. (:
Why was there NO account UNTIL 1832 and it did not even have 2 personages in it just an Angel NEPHI
Is that added information or something to be removed in a LATER version?
Technically not a contradiction just a small problem that can be excised by some revision & editing.

The First vision is dated 1820. I am sure you are aware of the many different versions
BLAINE: I am fully aware of the different versions. No contradictions, however, although they sometimes add information not present in other versions. Some versions are not from Joseph, but are second-hand versions as others have retold what they recall from Joseph telling them. They are all written in a 2 volume set of books called THE PAPERS OF JOSEPH SMITH, published by Deseret Book.
