Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1961sa (131st Semi-Annual Conference, held Sep 29-Oct 1, 1961; IA metadata confirms CHL call no. M204.1 A1 1880, 1897-). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to safely resolve talk boundaries against the report's own session headers (FIRST/SECOND/THIRD DAY, MORNING/AFTERNOON MEETING, GENERAL PRIESTHOOD MEETING) and speaker headers. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Sep 29 = First Day, Saturday Sep 30 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Oct 1 = Third Day); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset, this row was stale-marked '(in progress)' from an abandoned prior claim). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n83 of conferencereport1961sa) in place of the bare item link. Corrected speaker attribution: the printed report's running head reads 'ELDER RICHARD L. EVANS' (garbled by OCR to 'ELDER RICH' and bled into the body opening as 'RD L. EVANS le Twelve Apostles'), which the original ingest mistook for a speaker literally named 'Rich'. Corrected speaker/speaker_id/title/id/filename to Richard L. Evans and removed the running-head bleed fragment from the body opening.
