image on page 235. Comment: The names that are
apparently revealed on the multispectral image of page 15 of the
Mar.–Sept. 1838 Journal were, in fact, never originally inscribed on
that page, and the statement that the page was washed is incorrect.
Rather, the names were inscribed one leaf earlier, on page 13. The ink
transferred from the verso of the previous leaf (page 13) to the recto
of the following leaf (page 14) and then bled through to the verso of
that leaf (page 15). The multispectral image was erroneously interpreted
by the Smith Papers staff.

Pages
357–503. A number of updates and changes have been made to the reference
material. The updates correct factual errors, add additional
information, and remove biographical information that, while possibly
accurate, could not be documented in primary sources or the most
reliable secondary sources. Because the reference material supports 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 Journals, Volume 1. Readers should
refer to the Reference section of the Joseph Smith Papers website to
find the corrected and updated information.
