Conference record · 1831 January General Conference · 1831-01-01
Preferred witness preserves conference minutes or a later narrative summary rather than full sermon transcripts; import remains fragmentary because discrete complete talks are not recoverable from the available text.
Contemporaneous minute-book note stating no minutes were taken except the received commandment.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, encoding-artifact cleanup, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: JSP source URL verified as Minute Book 2 p.2, the correct page for this entry; the 'no minutes taken, save a commandment received... Book of Commandments. Page 80' line collated word-for-word against the JSP page transcript (fetched directly, not jod.mrm.org) -- exact match, including the doubled '80. 80' page-number quirk in the manuscript. Metadata (title, speaker, date, conference, fidelity) confirmed accurate; fragmentary grade is correct given no sermon text survives.
