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 three JSP pages spanning pp.761-763 (paper-summary/minutes-and-discourses-6-8-april-1842/1 through /3) and collated the full text word-for-word, including the extended John E. Page/Orson Hyde mission narrative and Joseph Smith's Elijah-and-Elisha discourse. Fixed three fidelity slips where the manuscript's own bracketed name insertions (Elder [Orson] Hyde on first mention, Elder [Lyman] Wight, [Thomas] Sharp) had been silently flattened. Otherwise an exact match throughout. Metadata confirmed accurate.
