A sketch of facsimile 2:

Notice the gap where in the printed version is an example of a figure in a boat.

Where did Smith get the insert from? Look at the bottom right picture on this Joseph Smith Papyri:

If you browse the examples in the British museum you find a figure in a boat with an insect:

See examples:

Figures 22 and 23 are missing in the sketch.

Check the British Museum holding for a different picture (multiple heads):

I like that you mentioned being responsive to your student’s interests.

As an aside, have you ever encountered a student and thought, “That is another me?” I remember a while back you mentioning a student with whom you were impressed.
Sorry I missed this, msnobody. I have not run into a student and thought that this person was another me. I would feel bad for that person if I did have that thought. ;)
