27th October, 1910.

Dear Sir,
re A.

I am in receipt of the enclosed Account of £2:12:7 for the maintenance of this boy from the 1st July to the 30th September, 1910 and enclosed I send you the Guardians' cheque in payment thereof and shall be glad to have the Account receipted and returned to me.

I would, however, refer you to your letter to me of the 25th May last in which you intimated that your Superintendent hoped to place the boy in a situation in August, it was in consequence of that letter my Board resolved to continue the payment for the boy's maintenance until August.

I presume there will be no further demand in the case, unless there should be some special reason, when a special application should be made.

I am,
Yours faithfully
O Sheppard
