Letter from John Steele, 5 May 1889
Toquerville Washington Co UT Pres Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother having returned from working in the St George Temple for my Dead I asked Brother McCallister a question that he did not feel at liberty to answer But wished me to state the question to you, just as I had stated it to him, which is a follows I went back to England on a mission in the year 1877 and while there preached the Gosple to my Sister and her family and Baptised several of them, all the rest believing and preached to her the true order of marriage and adoption of her Children her Husband was a drinking man and often acted bad to her so that she would not have him for Eternity but wished to be sealed to me, when she died as she was taken very bad with dropsey and did not Expect Ever to come to Zion. I told her I did not know how that would be. Such things had been done but I did not know how it would be again. Well then if that cannot be done I want you to have me sealed to your son Mohonri M Steele (he was then there on a mission) and my Children adopted to him and me and left the matter in my hands to see to it She died shortly after I left England and I have had her Endow- ments attended to for her but nothing more Now dear Brother your answer to this question would settle the matter and by so doing would would greatly oblidge your Brother in the Gospel John Steele
