Book of Mormon Mosiah 1:10
"on the morrow I shall proclaim unto this my people out of mine own mouth"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 29:4
"even a written word sent he among the people"

Reading offered for weighing: the father's reign culminates in spoken discourse ('out of mine own mouth'), the son's in a circulated document - fitting a king characterized by reading (25:5-6) and translating (28:13). Counterweight on page: the practical occasion (29:1, a kingdom-wide question) may explain the letter without literary design.
