Case 476

5. Letter from Alice Furneaux following a Committee meeting which had discussed E. and P's case 9 November 1893

View the Case Summary.

your agent's report of Mrs. Mr. Furneaux will be in London on Monday & he says he will call at the Church House some time after 2:30 - in hopes of seeing you, as he would be glad to talk the matter out with you. But please let us hear that your agent ascertains before my brother goes to town. At present the girls have no money to pay for their journey to London. I suppose E. will receive wages from her mistress when she leaves, which will suffice to pay for her journey, but we think we may at any rate retain P. in the Home until her mother sends money for her traveling expenses.

Yours truly
Alice E. signature

The [Epsom] children come today, but L. has after all come instead of K. I therefore return K. case paper, & will you please send me L's instead?
