View the Case Summary.

As to [?], I should much like to have a talk to you about him. Though not yet 15 years old, he is our best boy both in school and of great promise a woman (at Alton?) not a relative, wants to take him & train him as a cabinet-maker, but I rather feel that he ought to rise, if properly assisted, above the rank of artisan. Of his relatives, I don't know that any is interested in him. Should I be able to have a few words with you on Tuesday next, between 12 & 4? Or [?] that on Wed? morning?
I am
Yours Sincerely
C.M. Powell

Rev. E. de M. Rudolf

Cross written: 12.30 Wednesday
