Case 86

1. Application to Waifs and Strays' Society 14 November 1882

View the Case Summary.

The little girl C. is at present with my Mission woman as Mr. F. is in prison & she was left alone in the Barrack room with her little brothers only a thin wooden partition to divide their bed from all the rest of the men, & I did not consider it a fit place for the girl. I am most anxious to get her into some house or school, but only can pay 1/- per week. I hope you will take the case into yr. kind consideration. I remain

Yr. Faithfully
Emma S.C. Bingham.
