Case 3821

The father of this child is supposed to the bead & the mother has been married for some years. The child has been maintained since she was two years old by an elderly person Miss I. who took her, out of pity, seeing that she was being neglected & ill treated by the mother.

Miss has lately last the little money she had, & is about to go into an almshouse, so that she is unable to provide any longer for the child. Little R. is a bright, intelligent prepossessing girl, but Miss finds she is becoming very untruthful & has lately had reason to fear that she is not quite honest. She is most anxious that she should be placed under careful training while she is still growing. Miss H. who has filed up the fore going paper, has taken a kind interest in R. for some years, and has helped to [?] her. She would be a kind and safe friend to the child in after life though she is not able to help her [pecuniarily]. The child is known to the Rev. B. and Mrs. B from the past of Miss H. being one of their Sunday School teachers, and from her having occasionally brought R. with her to church & school on Sundays.
