The quality of Woodruff’s handwriting suggests that the account in his journal was a fair copy and that he first inscribed the text elsewhere before transferring it to his journal. It is unclear, however, if Woodruff created his account from notes he took during the sermon or whether he reconstructed it from memory.
Bullock wrote “April 24th. compiled for press” at the end of his 6 April 1844 conference minutes. (Docket for the 6 April 1844 minutes in Historian’s Office, General Church Minutes, 6–9 Apr. 1844; see also Historian’s Office, Journal, 10, 23–26, and 28 Apr. 1844.)
