Letter to the Temple President, 18 August 1891
To the President.
of the Temple -
Dear Brother: This will inform you
that Sister Mary Ann Hyde has represented
to me that her Father died before he heard the
gospel, but her mother lived to embrace it.
Notwithstanding this, her mother has been sealed
to her husband, who did as stated, and now
their children all desire to be sealed to them,
and to have them adopted to the Prophet
Joseph Smith; After hearing this matter
I am disposed to give my consent for this
work to be done, agreeable to the expressed
desire of the children -
Your Brother in the Gospel
Wilford Woodruff
