Ap. 26th, 1904
From Rev. Canon R
St. Andrew's Vicarage,
Watford, Herts.

Dear Secretary,
Mrs. [?] - Leavesden Road has been to see me in trouble about the proposed removal of her reformatory boy from Knebworth Cottage Home to Wales. She is distressed at the thought of the long distance & at her consequent inability to see her child. She is anxious to know whether he could not be placed in [?] School for the rest of his time, and though I have tried to console her in every way yet she made me promise that I would also write to you on the matter.
Yours very truly
R
