Case 9662

A thoroughly respectable but poor family, the Father was an invalid the last six years of his life. The mother is very deaf & not quite bright, she has not the capacity to manage her children properly & they are becoming very unruly & disobedient. She is very anxious to do her best for them but it is not possible for her to rule them as is necessary. She is a Communicant of the Church of England. As far as I can tell L whom I have known of her birth is a child of ordinary intelligence & I believe that with proper training she will develop into a nice, useful girl, but with such a mother & living as she does in the midst of a set of rough & somewhat unruly people, she would as she grows older become an unmanageable & thoroughly disobedient girl & wd. be in a position of much danger & temptation. I am most anxious to give her the opportunity of better things.
