It was written by him at the age of eight and reads: by R.S.S. Powell (This is carefully written in text) February 26th, 1865 Robert Stephenson Smyth Powell (This is written below in longhand) She was a wonderful woman who had a great and lasting influence on her children. Most of B-P's schooling came from her. You will see that even at the early age of eight he was thinking unselfishly about others. At this time B-P was known as "Ste" - a shortened form of Stephenson. You will see from his signature that the "Baden" has still not been added to the family name. Source "The Scout", Date unknown. |
