The Fannie Bolton Story

Fannie Bolton to E. G. White, April 13, 1893

In the mail today I send Bro. Wessels testimony [Letter 63, 1893]. There was no word of instruction in regard to what you wanted me to do with it. I was very much perplexed as Emily [Campbell] had written on it that it had been copied. Thus I could not tell whether you had sent it to him, or not, whether you wanted it in the form of a testimony or wanted it in a general article. The date was not clear. There were no initials of the Wessels you wanted it sent to. I only guessed by the bottom part of letters in the copied sheets. It was written on both sides of the paper. This delays the work I must do, because in articles I always want to transpose paragraphs or sentences, and so cut up the sheets. Now, my dear, I am not finding fault, but hope you will send me definite instructions. I will have to send you the testimony because I know not where you would have it sent. I fear, if you have not already sent it to Bro. Wessels, it will be delayed a month because there were no definite instructions. Love to all, F. B. Would write more if there was time. P.S. Excuse [condition of] paper. Have not time to hunt up more. I also send with this a number of articles. With what I have sent last week there will be fifteen, I think. Have made from the Wessels letter a general article as well as a testimony. So hope I have met your desire. I will not send it to the papers until I hear from you in regard to it. The title of it is, “Contemplate Christ’s Perfection, Not Man’s Imperfection” [in RH, August 8, 15, 1893.] May thinks you will need a lawyer to interpret this [handwriting]. She is waiting to take it to the mail. FBS 11.5
