Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1911a DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Restored the truncated trailing session record -- the file previously cut off mid-sentence at 'Benediction was pronounced by'; completed with 'Elder Joseph E. Robinson' and the adjournment notice. Fixed the truncated title, removed a stray trailing period from the speaker name, and anchored source_url to leaf 45. Fixed several OCR letter errors in the telegram text (Toseph F.Smith -> Joseph F. Smith, Salt Lake, City, "Utah -> Salt Lake City, Utah). This is a brief session item (President Smith reading a telegram from John W. Young, a son of Brigham Young, followed by a hymn and benediction) rather than a discourse, but is attributed to Smith as the reader. Also corrected date and session, which had been systematically mislabeled First Day (1911-04-06) across roughly twenty 1911-04 files; the DjVu day headers (FIRST DAY at leaf 1, SECOND DAY at leaf 30, THIRD DAY at leaf 61) were used to reassign the correct day/session per file via its source_url leaf.
