made to the reference material. The updates correct factual errors, add

possibly accurate, could not be documented in primary sources or the

all published volumes and all documents published on the website, the
Smith Papers staff will not keep a record of the specific changes made
to each entry published in Documents, Volume 6. Readers
should refer to the Reference section of the Joseph Smith Papers website
to find the corrected and updated information.
