Dear Brother: You have already been advised of the decision of a recent meeting of the First Presidency and Apostles with regard to those who should be admitted to the dedicatory services at the Temple in this City. To-day another meeting was held and the question again considered and it was unanimously decided by the brethren present that greater leniency should be shown to the people, and that all having a membership in the church, who so desire, sholuld have the privilege of being present and t[he] [page folded] recommends for this purpose should be granted them on their application. If any question of unworthiness arise it should be decided by the pr[esently] [page folded] constituted church courts in the regular manner, but the request for a recommend to attend these services should not be made the occasion of investigating a member's fellowship. Please communicate this decision to the Bishops in you[r] [page folded] Stake without delay. Your Brother, Wilford Woodruff
