Transcription

And at this time he sealed to me my first wife for eternity, and gave to me ^my^ first plural wife, Mary Ann Hale, an orphan girl raised by my mother then living with us, who is still with me, and is probably the only wife still living with the man to whom she was given by the Prophit.
