11th August, 1913.

Dear Mr Davison,

I was sorry to learn from your letter of the 5th inst. that in consequence of the above young fellow's mental condition he is unfit to remain in the Home, and under the circumstances I am afraid the Union is the only alternative. Will you be so good, therefore, as to kindly see what you can do with a view to securing his admission to the local Workhouse, in order that the Poor Law Authorities, who have the means and power to provide the special care and training he evidently needs, can deal with the case.

Kindly let me know in due course the result of your efforts.

Yours sincerely

Mr G.W. Davison
