Witnesses

Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0105. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. Papers of George D. Watt MS 4534 box 3 disk 2 1859b, images 221-224. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 6:330, which the catalog notes is heavily edited in places; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 21 February 2011. Watt wrote Tabernacle July 3d 1859 at the top of the page, a date conflict Carruth resolves in her footnote by confirming 19 June 1859 from the Journal of Discourses; her footnotes also identify the morning speaker referred to as the Reverend Mr. Vaux, part of whose sermon Watt recorded, per JD 6:332. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 6:330 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
