Salt Lake City
June 16, 1888
Mrs. Jane James,
I enclose you your recommend properly signed,—which will entitle you to enter the Temple to be babtized and confirmed for your dead kindred.
You must be content with this privelege, awaiting further instructions from the Lord to his servants. I am your servant and brother in the Gospel.
Angus M. Cannon
