The Fannie Bolton Story

W. C. White to C. H. Jones, June 23, 1889

Now I wish your advice about some of our literary workers. At the Apr. meeting of the Health Retreat I suggested to them that it would be profitable for them to employ Sister Fannie Bolton, to be trained as a literary editor of the [Pacific] Health Journal. And that after a time she should locate at the Retreat, giving a portion of her time to the Journal, and a portion to holding Bible Readings among the patients, and the helpers. The board requested me to labor for the execution of this plan. What do you think of it? I have a letter from Elder Tenney suggesting that Sister Burnham wishes to return to this country, and that they have now got their business in such a shape there that she can be spared. Mother wishes that Sister B. could work for her. I believe that Sister Fannie Bolton is much better qualified for work on a journal like the Pacific Health Journal, for in this she would have more occasion for original work, and it would not demand the accuracy which our work on the Signs must have.
