Transcription

It affords us much pleasure to hand you herewith a recommend for yourself and wife to the Manti Temple to receive your Second Anointing.

We feel that your devotion and service to the Church merits this special favor, and we are sure that you will appreciate it. However, should there be any reason why you cannot avail yourself of this blessing, kindly return the recommend to me.

You may visit the Temple for this purpose at any time, but it would not be well to delay it very long.

You will, of course, understand that this should not be made a matter of conversation.
