[Temple] Enclosed please find the endorsed recommends of the two widows of your father-in law for them to get their Second Anointing; and you are at liberty to act for him and receive this ordinance with them in his behalf. Enclosed is seen a certificate for Marion Brown Arthur. As we suppose this was your wife[,] I have endorsed it for her to receive her second anointing; though you do not mention [it], or ask [for it] in the letter. If this is not your wife, she ought not to receive her second anointing on the strength of this recommend. [John Taylor to Christopher J. Arthur, Sept. 18, 1886]
