Scope and Contents

[George F. Gibbs, secretary to the First Presidency], letter to Levi Savage, 17 December 1895, says: "I am directed by the First Presidency to say in answer to your favor of tenth instant that in the cases to which you refer, the same rule holds good with regard to both living and dead. For those who have associated with any upon whom rests the curse of Cain [the Blacks] baptisms can be performed, but endowments cannot be received. The fact of them being dead does not make any difference in regard to this law."
