[Temple] [Y]ou desire to know if it would be proper to give a temple recommend to a faithful brother to receive his endowments whose wife is not a member of the Church, and who is about to make his home in Idaho. Our answer is, yes, provided he married his wife before gathering to Zion; and no, if he married her after coming to Utah. [John R. Winder to Stephen L. Chipman, June 3, 1903]
