JFS, letter to Samuel F. Atwood, 17 March 1883: "When I entered into celestial marriage with my first wife [Levira] I solemnly covenanted and agreed, and so did my wife 'to observe and keep,' not a part, but 'all the laws, rites' etc., appertaining unto the new and everlasting covenant of matrimony. I understood and still do that the eternity of the marriage covenant includes a plurality of wives."
