Exegesis
Verse 10
Joseph's way of expressing his desire using the first person nominative case differs from the way Joseph expresses his desire to address the topic of baptism for the dead in his subsequent letter. That is, in D&C 128:1, his mind is occupied and his feelings are pressed on these matters. In a sense, it seems that this matter of baptism for the dead later supplants the role or position of Joseph's persecutors--although Joseph is actually being pressed and occupied by enemies, he later describes himself as being pressed and occupied only by this matter of baptism for the dead.
