Dear Sister:

The only ordinance that is now being attended to for the dead is baptism. You can be baptized for your dead female relatives if you are the heiress of the family. If you have no male relative who has the right by heirship to officiate for the male portion of your relatives, your husband can act for them

Your Brother
