Dear Miss Wykes,
re J and R

I now have the pleasure to inform you that the arrangements have been made for the above-named boy's transfer to the Gordon Boys' Home, on Tuesday next the 20th inst. I shall be obliged, therefore, if you will be so good as to see that they are sent to London on the day mentioned, by the train leaving Leicester at 10.20, due to arrive at St. Paneras at 12.5, where they will be met by one of our staff. They will need no clothing beyond that which they stand up in, and should they have Post Office Savings Bank Books, will you kindly see that they are forwarded to the Commandant, Gordon Boys' Home, West End, Woking.

re A, and J
As you will now be shortly having two vacancies, I herewith beg to enclose particulars of the above two boys, and shall be glad to hear in due course that they can be received
