Conference record · 1840 April General Conference · 1840-04-06
Preferred witness is the Joseph Smith Papers featured text of the Times and Seasons minutes, not verbatim sermon transcripts. The record preserves conference minutes, business, resolutions, and a summarized Joseph Smith discourse; discrete complete talks are not recoverable from this source.

Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread and spacing fixes.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: fetched all five JSP pages spanning pp.91-95 (paper-summary/minutes-and-discourse-6-8-april-1840/1 through /5) and collated the full text word-for-word. Fixed one fidelity slip: the manuscript's own abbreviation 'J. Grover [Thomas Grover]' had been silently replaced with the resolved name 'Thomas Grover,' and 'Bro. D[avid] W. Rogers' / 'John P. Green[e]' had likewise dropped their manuscript-literal brackets; restored all three to match this file's own bracket convention used everywhere else. Otherwise an exact match, including every resolution and the closing signatures. Metadata confirmed accurate.
