1st June, 1909.

C/C.

Dear Sir,

re E.

The Hon. Secretary of the Society's St. Margaret's Home, Penkridge, writes this morning as follows:-

We have found this girl no less than four good situations since she went out a year and nine months ago. She wrote saying she must give notice, we replied, if she did so we would not have her at the Home. We cannot have her coming back to the Home so often it having a dreadful bad effect on the other girls going out.

In these circumstances, I may add that in the event of the girl leaving her present situation, which I understand is most probable, she will, as a temporary measure, be placed in the Society's Home of Girls Out of Situations, 357, Clapham Road, London, S.E. but perhaps in the meantime your Board may be able to make some other suggestion as to the girl's future. The girl will be 18 in July next, and I understand means to sever herself from the Society, even if a place were found for her in the meanwhile.

Awaiting your reply,
Yours faithfully,
(sgd) E. de M. R.

The Clerk to the Guardians,
Cannock Union.
