[Temple] [Rudger Clawson] asked my opinion as to whether a man was violating his covenants who having once married a wife in the temple, wife being now dead, he married a second wife civilly. I asked what he thought. He said he thought he was not violating his covenants but was weak in the faith. I agreed. [J. Reuben Clark office diary, June 10, 1940 , Perry Special Collections]
