20th February 91

Sir

I am forced to trouble you with regard to my sister M. who ran away from Hillingdon last week and is staying now at the Society's home in Marylebone Road. The case form was sent to you by the Rev Hon J. G Adderly some few weeks back & was rejected I understand through her having her father alive. Her Father is away at sea on an average 11 months out of twelve in the year & you will see by this sir that he cannot have much jurisdiction over her, I myself am out all day long & her poor Mother being away in a lunatic asylum
