31st July, 1905

Dear Sir,
re case of T
I have the pleasure to inform you that the above boy was on the 27th inst. transferred to a private Home at Huntingdon, which has recently been built by Lord Sandwich, and maintained by him. His Lordship has kindly undertaken to place certain free vacancies at the Society's disposal, and, in view of the excellent character borne by the above boy, he was selected as being a suitable candidate. No further claim will, therefore, be made for his support so long as he remains at the Home in question, and I shall be glad to hear that the arrangement made is one that meets with your approval.
Believe me,
Yours faithfully
E de MR

The Clerk,
Burton-on-Trent Union
