No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the scan/OCR witness (Internet Archive conferencereport1927a); moved the calling caption ('Former President of the French Mission') out of the body into calling metadata, supplied a real title from the talk's opening words, removed running-head bleed and fixed OCR letter errors ('GE NE HAL CONFERENCE' running head removed, '46 GENERAL CONFERENCE' running head removed).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified against conferencereport1927a djvu OCR (IA file conferencereport981chur_djvu.txt); confirmed this is Russell H. Blood's address in the First Overflow Meeting in the Assembly Hall (Elder J. Golden Kimball presiding, per the session-business record now in 1927-04-11), not the main Tabernacle meeting. Removed two mid-paragraph running-head/page-number artifacts ('GE NE HAL CONFERENCE' on page 44 and '46 GENERAL CONFERENCE' on page 46) and the trailing 'ELDER RUSSELL H. BLOOD' running head at the end of the body. Set session to 'First Overflow Meeting' (was incorrectly 'First Day Morning Session'; Blood spoke in the Assembly Hall overflow meeting, not the Tabernacle). Set calling_at_time to 'Former Mission President' with calling_source recording the exact printed caption. Set date to 1927-04-03 (exact). source_url page anchor derived from the item's own page_numbers.json leaf map (printed page 44 = leaf n46).
