From the Fegan Newsletters:

Here are four of my young friends whom I introduced to the meeting with some personal confidences as I felt we were en familee.

The first is Bill Deave. He is one of three brother I took about four years ago from a kind but very poor home with a bedridden father. Dull, denderated, ill-fed and under all kind of disadvantages - they have been so good and such "strugglers" no one could ever be cross with them however slow and stupid they might be for they tried so hard to be all the help they could. Arthur went to Canada two years ago when fourteen. He is still in his first place. The latest report is "Splendid fellow - well thought of. Quite happy and contented with his home and work". I find in 1910 he gave $2 for the "Old Boys' Thank-offerings" and in 1911 $20 - just half his year's wages! What do you say to that for a dear, honest, grateful young struggler? The eldest Percy, I have at present moment waiting on me, as I think running errands for me tends to sharpen a lad up! It is my little bit of "bearing one another's burdens" Now if anyone in the country would like to have a turn after me, I can recommend Percy as "a paying guests" - they payment will be deferred but it will be sure and liberal, for the promise holds good. "When I come again, I will repay thee". Good food, bracing air, and some occupation not too complicated, with an encouraging interest, with an encouraging interest, will be a real help to Percy and everybody will like him - he is so honest, truthful, willing and good natured. But we can only spare him for two months, say July and August!
