To a Relieving Officer, by a Neighbour of a Poor Woman taken Ill.
Tapton, March 17th, 187—
Sir,
Mrs. Waterson, a neighbour of mine, whom I have known for more than fifteen years as an industrious woman, is now ill and unable to work. She has no relations who can assist her in any way. Would you, next Thursday, on your way to the board of guardians' meeting, call and see her? Her house is at the corner of Sedgwood Lane. I will see that her wants are attended to until then.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
George Newns.
