Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, 17 August 1893
Rexburg, Idaho, Prest. W. Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother, One of our Brethren who has had 2 wives and his first wife having just recently died comes to me with the question whether to protect himself he should marry his plural wife by the law. The latter has been raising children the youngest of whom is two years of age. My feelings are that if I were in his place I would not like to humiliate myself to do such; but would like your counsel in this matter which will be strictly confidential. Your Brother in the Gospel T E Ricks Sez good one If [anyone] threatens there is time enough for action
