The Fannie Bolton Story

W. C. White to E. G. White, August 30, 1895

I am not surprised that writing for Fannie makes May Israel nervous, especially when you consider her perplexity and anxiety regarding her mother’s condition. I think it would be well for May Israel to return here soon, and if Fannie is prepared to employ a writer, let Maggie Hare go up and work with her. FBS 40.2

It will be well for Bro. Caldwell to come down just as soon as you can select someone to take care of the horses and cows, and get them well established in their work.... FBS 40.3

I most sincerely hope that you will not send for Sara McEnterfer. She is another one who might readily become disabled. When we get together and have Fannie and Maggie Hare, Bro. Caldwell and May Israel, we shall have a pretty good working force. I now regard it as a misfortune that we took Caldwell off from the writing, but we cannot always foresee what will come. Please do not arrange for Caldwell to keep everything in his hands till the moment of departure, and leave McKee uninstructed and untried to do things he does not understand. Let May Israel rest till next Monday. Let Caldwell write for Fannie. FBS 40.4
