[Temple] You evidently misunderstood Brother [George] Reynolds in regard [to] recommending for the temple. What he aimed to convey to you was that it was not in order for presidents of missions to recommend for temple work; this prerogative is confined to bishops and presidents of stakes. How long this rule will obtain we do not know, but for the present it must be adhered to. [Lorenzo Snow to Franklin S. Bramwell, June 4, 1900]
