12 photographs · 4 document groups

Photographed by Whit from the recovered Joseph Dow collection. Descriptions follow visible text and physical evidence; uncertain names, dates and associations remain provisional. Upright reading copies link to the unchanged supplied photographs. IMG_4597–IMG_4636 survive here as recovered chat attachment copies, rather than full-resolution camera originals.

JDT-D649-address · Address to ministers: transition into family government

The pamphlet turns from public praise to religious instruction in the household. An address to ministers leads into counsel for heads of families. These are preserved chat attachment copies: the temporary full-resolution originals were no longer available during recovery.

JDT-D649-rear · Rear leaf: handwritten dates and calculations
