President Joseph F. Smith is in receipt of your letter of the 27th ult. He has requested me to say to you that if you were sealed to your husband and he has forefeited his right to you and the children on account of adultry or other crimes the children will go with you, and they need not be sealed to any man to whom you may again be sealed, as they were born under the covenant and go with the one who has ke[pt] the covenant.
[Harold G. Reynolds, Letter to Lorah Whitaker, as quoted in Minutes of the Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1910-1951, Privately Published, Salt Lake City, Utah 2010]
