Case 8723

Mrs. has been accepted by the Cornwall County Nursing Association to train as one of their district nurses provided she can find a suitable home for her only child. She is bound for four years to the nursing association & after it she will be in a position to support herself & her boy. Mrs. has no relations who could make a suitable home for her boy & she is anxious to find a home for him where he will be under good influences & discipline while she is training. She is a communicant & wishes her boy to have thorough church, teaching, the boy is a thoroughly nice minded child & his father & mothers families are very respectable hardworking people.

Mrs. would want the boy taken in March 1902 certainly for one year, possibly for more; the last three years of her training will be in Cornwall where she might or might not, be able to make a home for him. Mrs. would be glad if her boy might go to either the Newton Abbot or Helston Homes; she would prefer the Newton Abbot Home, as it is on the main G.W.R. line & she would have better opportunity of seeing him.

Mrs. is not in a position to pay more than £10 a year & help with his clothes; but with the help of our friends she can guarantee this.
