			=Question: What did the husband of Elvira Annie Cowles know about her sealing to Joseph Smith for eternity?=
			==Joseph asked Jonathan Holmes to marry Elvira for time, and Joseph was later sealed to her for eternity==

			A letter by William Wright talks of Joseph asking Jonathan Holmes to marry Elvira. Joseph was later sealed to her for eternity.
			<blockquote>
			I was well acquainted with two of Joseph’s wives, LaVina [Elvira] and Eliza [Snow or Partridge]. I came to Utah in ’69, and rented LaVina Holmes farm. Before Joseph was shot, he asked Jonathan Holmes if he would marry and take care of LaVina, but if LaVina wanted him to take care of her he would take her. He would fill that mission to please his Father in Heaven. <ref>Undated holograph letter of William Wright, stamped as received in the First Presidency Office on June 2, 1931, in Box 65, CR 1/44, Misc.

			</blockquote>

			Brian Hales notes that, "It seems to corroborate that Jonathan may have been given a “mission” to marry Elvira and “take care of her” in a legal pretend marriage. After the martyrdom, Jonathan would have been free to take Elivira as his own wife. She did not conceive her first child until seven months after Joseph’s death. The couple went on to have a total of five children together." <ref>Brian and Laura Hales, "Elvira Annie Cowles," josephsmithspolygamy.org {{link\|url=http://josephsmithspolygamy.org/plural-wives-overview/elvira-annie-cowles/}}</ref>
