G. A. Irwin to E. G. White, April 12, 1900, p. 12

There have been no special developments along the line of what I wrote you about Fannie Bolton, except that Brother Saxby told me a few days ago that in conversation with her, he had occasion to speak about your book, The Desire of Ages, and he spoke of what a grand book it was, and how much good he had gotten out of his reading and study of it, when she spoke rather contemptuously, and said, “Do you know that Marian Davis wrote the most of that book, and that I also wrote a portion of it?” So you can see from this that the old spirit is not gone yet.FBS 91.2
