Case 588

4. Letter from Annie Percival 10 July 1889

View the Case Summary.

days or a fortnight & that, as he is not old enough to do anything for a living, it will be most difficult to know what to do with him. I feel almost sure that there must be something exceptional in the case or the child would not be sent home & I should be so very much obliged if you would kindly let me know the circumstances under which the decision has been come to. I ask because it was on my application that my boy was received just after his father's death.

Yours faithfully
Annie Percival

E. de M. Rudolf Esq.
