Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: source_url (archive.org conferencereport1919a, n102) confirmed as correct IA item/era. Corrected session from 'Second Day Morning Session' to 'Second Day Afternoon Session' -- the body explicitly says 'afforded me this afternoon'. Removed a mid-body running-head bleed ('ELDER JOHN L. HERRICK') that had split a sentence. No further boundary contamination found; this is Walter P. Monson's farewell address as retiring Eastern States Mission president. Fixed several OCR errors (stray periods/apostrophes, 'him he.'->'him he', "missiona'ries"->'missionaries', 'dedree'->'degree', 'ly'->'by'). No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists.
