Eliza I. Jones, Letter to Wilford Woodruff, February 24, 1888; rep. Devery S. Anderson, The Development of LDS Temple Worship, 1846–2000: A Documentary History (Salt Lake City, UT: Signature Books, 2011), 71.
Will you please answer a few questions I wish to ask you. I am the widow of Thomas C. Jones of your Circle. He died soon after we came from [the] Logan Temple working for our Dead and having our 2d [an]o[i]nting[s] where we [were] told to attend to the Washing of Feet at home. The baby was sick after we came home so I asked Bro[ther] Jones when we should attend to it and he said we had better wait till the baby is better but he was taken sick and Died before it was attended to. Can that be done by Proxy or not as I feel sorry about it for he was a good man and I gave him 2 living Wives and 3 Dead ones and worked hard to help him to keep them.
