While in B.C. a report had been in circulation about the same as in Australia how you could not write so it was fit to be read, &c. Some who did not know you as well as others came to us with it. We simply got some of your letters written in your own handwriting for them to read. The one we were talking with said, “There is not a mistake in this.” And so went on in that line. FBS 99.1
Fannie came to talk with me about the reports she had circulated. I told her while I was in Africa I knew some had doctored your writings over, but did not know till afterwards that she was the one who did it. And that was the reason the Lord could not trust her to work for you &c. I told her [that] if your copyist ought to have credit, why not those who made the sentences and punctuated the Bible have credit? There was ten times the reason why their names should be put in the Bible as to have your helpers have their names associated with yours. FBS 99.2
