Case 189

St. Alban's Crescent
Bournemouth
July 18

Dear Sir

re E. boarded out of Reedswich, Horsham about 48 years ago. Age about 56.

She came here for her holiday last Saturday, & I was shocked to see her looking so ill.

She was delicate as a child, & Mr. Rudolf thought she had better not go to service. She works in Leicester in the hosiery factory, it closed down, & for 6 weeks she had no work; she had 12/6 a wk from the [Leismand] Society.

If you have any Samaritan fund, a grant would be of great use to her. She bears a high character, & is a good woman. It is a hard life, she has to start at 7:30 am every day, & this winter was much pulled down by influenza. I was shocked at her appearance last Saturday, & then she would have been better cared for in service.

Yrs. faithfully.
J. (Miss)
former Sec. to Waifs & Strays at Slinford Horsham
