Dear Bro:

Your letter of June 16th has been received. We are not giving endowments for the dead, neither are we attending to the ordinance of Adoption. We are baptizing for the dead, and your wife or wives who may have died without being sealed to you can be sealed to you, your present wife acting proxy, unless the deceased have daughters who can act for them.

With kind regards to yourself and wife and praying the Lord to bless you I remain

Your Brother

Brigham Young
