I am directed by the First Presidency to say in answer to your favor of [the] 10th inst., 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[,] 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.

Note : For those who possibly may not know: the curse of Cain = the curse of Canaan = a skin of blackness, which skin of blackness will be removed from all peoples who have it before the future 1000 year period of time upon earth called The Peaceful Reign.
