altogether object too or at least he thought it a splendid institution for the training of a child. I would endeavor to do my best to pay the extra shilling per week that it would cost the master that my husband had worked for is dead so my husband will be out of work in a week or two. I don't know what next we may do, or what work he would be able to get.

Yours dutifully
