Witnesses

Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0280. 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 4 disk 1 1864b images 20-23. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 12:104; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 26 January 2023. Carruth's own footnotes collate her shorthand against JD 12:105 and 12:107 and warn that the printed text diverges significantly from the shorthand through much of the sermon, with some JD sections wholly unrelated to the shorthand record and at least one shorthand passage omitted from the printed text entirely. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 12:104 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
