In the case that you just need to refer to the last added footnote, you can also simply put \footnotemark[\value{footnote}] in your text. But please consider the longer version as well as this one.
Put the following new commands in the preamble of your document
\newcommand{\footnoteremember}[2]{ \footnote{#2} \newcounter{#1} \setcounter{#1}{\value{footnote}} } \newcommand{\footnoterecall}[1]{ \footnotemark[\value{#1}] }
You can now add footnotes in your document, and remember a reference to them with, e.g., \footnoteremember{myfootnote}{This is my footnote} and then refer to this footnote again with \footnoterecall{myfootnote}.
Note that each reference can only be used once, LaTeX will generate errors when references are duplicate.
