Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0665. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. MS 4534 box 3 disk 2 1859b images 104-123. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 7:251; sermon note in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 28 October 2009. The shorthand begins directly with Watt's note that Pratt read an extract from the Book of Covenants, so the printed opening paragraph on the antiquity of the gospel has no counterpart in the original record. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 7:251 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
Ingested; not yet independently reviewed.
