The Fannie Bolton Story

W. C. White to L. J. Rousseau, April 9, 1893, p. 3

I intended to write to you from Auckland, about the copying that Srs. Davis and Bolton have to do, suggesting that you should push forward Jessie Israel, and Margaret Hare, till they could copy to advantage, and then that they be given as much employment as possible, in copying. It is mother’s desire, that Srs. Davis and Bolton shall have all the help that they need in this line, and she desires that Jessie Israel be encouraged to become an expert, and that she be furnished as much work in this line as is profitable to the work, or helpful to her.

It would be perfectly natural for Srs. D. and B. to feel that it was no help at all, to have a slow copyist, but I do not look at it exactly in that way, and I know that it is practice that will give speed. FBS 10.3
