John Taylor writes to Eliza Platt, "If you will send us a recommend for yourself, properly signed, I will endorse it for your deceased husband, yourself and his deceased wife to receive your second anointings. I hear that your son is a worthy young man, but he ought to have more experience and had more opportunities that age brings before receiving this important and sacred ordinance. You will, therefore, have to select some person who has already had his second anointings to act as proxy for your husband." David Whitmer finishes his booklet AN ADDRESS TO ALL BELIEVERS IN CHIRST.
