Thanks Steve,

I had forgotten that was there. the fact the HPB spells Kolob as Colob
and the fact that she refers to it as the planet "their chief god" "lives
in", instead of " the planet nearest to the throne of God" lends support
to the idea that HPB did not have a Mormon BOOK OF ABRAHAM in front of
her, but was perhaps remembering old conversations she had in Salt Lake
(150 years too early for the olympics).
