Nov. 20th 1902

Dear Mr. Norris
G

I have to thank you for your letter from which I am pleased to learn that this girl can be admitted into the Society's Scholfield Home, Wavertree, on Monday next. I have written to the clergyman interested, Rev. M, S. Peter's Vicarage, Walsall, asking him to arrange the matter direct with you and to be sure & let you know when to expect the girl.

I
Can you kindly give me the full address of the Home where this girl is going on Monday next?

M
This child will be met to-morrow (Friday) as previously arranged. I do not propose sending her to Dorchester on Saturday as previously arranged as I am little uncertain as to whether it is wise to send her simply under the c/o the guard, especially as she would have to change. The child will, therefore, be sent to our Receiving House, Byfleet, until we are able to arrange to send someone down with her.

Yours very truly
