Case 189

Mr. Crimble.

E.

The above named was received by the Society on the 21st August, 1883, and boarded out at Slinford, Sussex. In December 1890 she was transferred to St. Chad's Home, Far Headingley. She was placed in service on the 31st May, 1894, but was re-admitted to the Home in the following January. On the 11th April, 1896, she was placed out as a knitter c/o Pryce Jones of Newton, Wales.

A letter has now been received from Miss J. who apparently was E's supervisor when she was a child, asking if the Society has a Samaritan Fund out of which it could make a grant to help Miss.

Miss J. states that E. was delicate as a child and Mr. Rudolf thought she had better not go to service. She has been working in Leicester in a hosiery factory, but this having closed she has had no work for several weeks and has only been in receipt of 12/6 a week from her Insurance Society. Miss J. further states that E. bears a high character and is a good woman (aged 56). In the Winter her health was much impaired through influenza, and Miss J. was much shocked at her appearance when she saw her at Bournemouth last month.

Is this a case, please where an application might be made to the Finance Committee for a small grant? 20th August, 1931.
