In Moroni 8:27, Mormon said that he would write again unless he had to go back out to battle soon. How would he have known that he might need to go back out to battle soon? In Mormon 3, he referred to a warning letter from the Lamanite king reminding him that the ten years of peace was over. Thus, there may be a connection between Mormon’s epistle in Moroni 8 and that setting in Mormon 3. There are a few clues like this that potentially suggest a shared context.
