Dear Bro
I write in behalf of Bro Patison Delos Griffeth and His
two wives Elizabeth and Sarah Griffeths, also His Mother
who is deseased (Maria Rockwell, who wish to have second
Anointings, Bro Griffeths is an old settler in this valley and
an excelent man always been on the right side and is
valient for Zion, is 69 years old, His wives are also quite
aged, and good faithful L.D.Saints, His Mother I did
not know but He represents Her as being one of the early
members of the Church and a faithful good woman died at
the age of 45 Maney years ago, He wants Her sealed to some
good Man who has had His 2nd anointings andddd His Mother
to have Hers with Him if you will approve. His Father was not
in the Church, I have told Him this was out of the ordinary line
of giving second annointing for His Mother, without living with
the Man she was annointed to in Life but would lay the
matter before you for Him, I think Bro Griffeth & wives
are worthey of this Blessing in every Respect -- Hopeing you are well
I am Respectfully yours
M. W. Merrill
