Letter to Samuel Amos Woolley, 30 April 1888
Bishop Samuel A. Woolley
9th Ward
Dear Brother:
Upon a statement which you make to
me concerning Annie C. Riter, or Annie C. Riter Ander-
son and the prompt manner in which she paid her tithes and
offerings and attended meetings, and showed by her conduct that
she was sincerely contrite and desired to repent of her wrong do-
ing during the remainder of her life after she fell into sin, I feel
led to say to you, and through you to her mother and relations, that
they can be baptized for her and have all her former blessings
sealed in her behalf upon the one who officiates for her. A per-
son organized as you say she was deserves charity, and she has
gone now to meet her final account; but her record, as you report
it, after the sad occurrence which caused her severance from the
Church, shows that she had faith in the Gospel and had good
desires for herself and her children.
Before, however, speaking to her mother upon this, it would be
well for you to show this letter to the Presidency of the Stake - Bro
Angus M. Cannon & Counselors - and let them know my
views upon this subject so that whatever is done may be done
