Pitman shorthand report; the speaker did not review this text before publication. Text transcribed from the printed JD, collated page-by-page against the BYU/IA page images. Does not fall inside a General Conference window in indexes/conference-calendar.md (nearest GC window is October 6-8, 1855); category set tabernacle_address.

Witnesses

Full text of the discourse as published in the Journal of Discourses. BYU ContentDM's item-detail page currently fails to render in modern browsers (loads, then a client-side script redirects to the generic lib.byu.edu collections page; site-wide BYU bug, not link-format specific); the IIIF page image used for collation still loads directly and a 2026-02-22 wayback snapshot of the item page is recorded as source_archived_url.

Page-anchored scan witness for Journal of Discourses volume 3, page 140; also used for collation.

Collation history

Ingested; not yet independently reviewed.
