    Fannie Bolton to E. G. White, circa October, 1892

    I am afraid you may be worried about my condition of health, and I am sorry I wrote you so much about it. I believe I shall get better soon; for when my foot lets me take more outdoor exercise, I shall recuperate quickly. I believe my foot is growing better in answer to prayer, and I have asked the Lord to heal me spiritually, mentally, and physically, and I believe He will do it. God is good to me to bear so long with my “oft infirmities” of character. I feel that He carries me upon His heart though I am “poor and needy.” I have been earnestly seeking Him for a “constant mind,” for the gold tried in the fire, for the white raiment of His righteousness and the eye salve that I may see. My heart is melted and subdued by His love. He has chastened me some, but it is all for my good that I may be a partaker of His holiness. I mourn over the hardness of my heart in so long centering my thoughts upon myself and looking critically upon others. O that God would change me as He did Jacob and call my name Israel. I feel that Jesus is here this morning, and it seems as though I could almost see the scars in His hands for me. O Sister White—I do want to be among those who shall praise Him. I must not be left out of His love. “Whom have I on earth beside Thee, Whom in heaven but Thee?” Pray for me that I may become a steadfast, constant, whole-hearted lover of the Lord, and wholly fitted for His service. I must have the glow of my first love, and feel that I shall have it again.FBS 5.5

    Give my love to the girls, and forgive all the anxiety and grief I have caused you all. Fannie.FBS 6.1
