Can anyone vouch for the authenticity of the letter quoted below?  I'd
really like to know.

I've never heard this view before.

>From an earlier post, quoting  (as near as I could tell) DISTINGUISHING THE
DOCTRINAL, NON-DOCTRINAL AND FALSE DOCTRINAL CONCEPTS OF THE CREATION by
Kenneth J.Brown. Chair, Ricks College Religion Department 1974:

However, unbeknownst to us one of the group had disagreed and had written to
the First Presidency. He received a letter which I have since learned is a
sort of form letter which has been sent out for years to those asking the
same question, the letter reads:

Feb. 28, 1968

Dear Brother

In answer to your inquiry in letter of Feb. 15, 1968addressed to President
David O. McKay I am directed to tell you that the Church has never announced
a definite doctrine on the point of progression from one kingdom to another
after the resurrection. Some of the brethren have held the view that it was
possible in the course of progression to advance from one glory to another,
invoking the principle of eternal progression; others of the brethren have
taken an opposite view. But, as stated, the Church has never announced a
definite doctrine on this point.

Sincerely yours,

Joseph Anderson

Secretary to the First Pres.
