pPresaidient Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother; One of our investigators, a lady has applied for baptism; but has confessed that she had an abortion commited upon herself when she was foive or six months along in pregnancy. She was and is, living with her husband at the time, and had two sons; a rupture with her husband that seemed as though it would result in seperatino^n^ caused her to do as she did. She now feels keenly the enormity of the sin she commited. What is our diuty? aAre we at liberty to bap- tize her? May she come into the fold? Her husband though not an in investigator, is not opposed and would be willing that the wife should be baptized. As the element of doubt enters into my soul, as tho the right course to persue in the matter, I humble seek for instructiosn Praying for special blessings upon you in your high call- ing, I remain, your Brother in the Lord; E. H. Nye
