Dear Sir

The poor girl F. passed quietly away at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Lady Superintendent (Miss Larrison) has made all necessary arrangements and has telegraphed to her mother who came to see her on Tuesday and stayed one night, but thought she had better return yesterday, as the child might have lingered a day or two longer

Overwritten in black: [?] 1892 Mr W Lee
