Eastfield,

Nov. 7, 1907

Dear Mr. Rudolf
The St. Benet's Home Committee met today and decided to admit E when he can be sent. R they will be glad to admit, when he is 13 1/2 (in December?) but they suggest that all possible precautions should be taken against the undesirable father's decoying the boy away. The question you asked, whether the fire-hose at St. Andrew's Home would be acceptable to St. Benet's Home has been considered.
