Letter to Daniel Duncan McArthur, 5 July 1893
Salt Lake City, Utah. . President Daniel D. McArthur St. George Stake of Zion Dear Brother: In consequence of the stringent provisions of the Edmunds- Tucker law, it has heretofore been deemed necessary to require all persons desiring to be sealed in the temples, whether married or single, to first obtain a marriage license from the Country Clerk, but in view of the changed conditions of our affairs and the more liberal sentiment pre- vailing towards our people, it is believed that the hardship of requiring persons already legally married to get a license before being sealed for eternity may be dispendced with, and you are therefore advised that such licenses will no longer be required of persons who are already legally married to each other—they can be sealed for eternity without going through the useless formality and expense of getting a license, but they must come prepared to prove to the satisfaction of the brethren at the temple that they are legally husband and wife. Your Brethren in the Gospel, Wilford Woodruff Geo. Q. Cannon Jos. F. Smith
