Case 9627

22. Letter from Mrs Graham declining the above request and reiterating the need for J's prompt removal 7 August 1903

View the Case Summary.

understand one on which some debate may be raised - but apparently from your letter you are prepared to deal with that point - I merely mention it in case you have not contemplated any such difficulty. I must therefore respect the decision of my committee that this boy must be removed on Tuesday next and in order to save future trouble I have enjoined our Matron to satisfy herself that whoever comes to remove the boy has the written authority of either his father, or of some board of Guardians.

I remain
Yours truly
M. B. Graham
Hony. Secty.
