11th April, 1910.

C/F.C.
Dear Sir,
re A.

I beg to enclose herewith an estimate to hand this morning in regard to a bucket leg required by the above named crippled boy, an inmate of the Society's Training Home at 119 Copenhagen Street, Islington, N., and shall be very glad to hear whether your Board can kindly see its way to meet the cost, vizt. 30/-. If so, perhaps you will be so good as to include the amount in our account in respect of maintenance, sent in on Saturday last? I understand that the bucked leg is urgently required, the present one having been in use for nearly five years and for some time past the stump of the lad's leg has not properly fitted the bucket.

Yours faithfully, signature

The Clerk to the Guardians,
Devizes Union
