Transcription

Brother Earl, a Salt Lake fireman, came to see us concerning dispensing with the use of his garments. He described his position and the labor he had to perform, which required him to strip and to wear tight underclothing, and he could not do this and wear his garments. The exercises which required him to strip were three times a day. After conversing with him upon the matter, we felt that under the circumstances, if he would take the risk, he might dispense with his garments in the daytime, but wear them at night. This was President Woodruff’s view of the question.
