Oliver Cowdery described Moroni's visit, including Moroni's explanation that the record was written and deposited not far from Joseph's home. It was not written thousands of miles away from New York.
Moroni also explained Joseph had the privilege of translating the record with the Urim and Thummim, not with a stone Joseph had previously found while digging a well.
He [Moroni] said this history was written and deposited not far from that place, and that it was our brother’s privilege, if obedient to the commandments of the Lord, to obtain and translate the same by the means of the Urim and Thummim, which were deposited for that purpose with the record.
