JFS, letter to James Steele, 21 May 1880
Mahonri M. Steele and James Houston, letter to JFS, 12 February 1902,2 pp., says: "We are somewhat perplexed to know how to proceed with certain cases in our Stake.... Another woman, mentally deranged, was almost forced to have sexual intercourse with a scamp in Circle Valley, the Apostles directed that she be cut off the church, which has been done. We have some cases where young people obtain recommends and are married in the temple, a short time, and a child is born. Should these cases be forgiven the same as those who have children born to them after being married 3 or 4 month[s] but who did not go to the temple?"
Francis M. Lyman, minutes of the quarterly meeting of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, 29 September 1914.
