Dear William:-
Your letter to hand, I was very pleased
to hear from you and thank you for your message of
sympathy.
I note your remarks about making a short
visit to the Old Country but I am afraid we shall have to
disappoint you as you are still under the Guardianship
of the Home and we cannot consent to this. It is up
to your to save your money so you will have a nice little
sum to fall back on and then if you wish to make a trip
to the Old Country we should have nothing to say, but
while you are under the Guardianship of the Home we cannot give our consent.
I see by our Records you are only just
sixteen years of age and only in this Country not
quite two years. If I were you I would have a talk with
Mr. Brooks and see if he wants to keep you another year
and what wages he offers. You are in a good home and
very happy and have given excellent service and I think
you would do well to stay on another year if Mr. Brooks
makes you a good offer. Think this letter over and when
you have had a talk with Mr. Brooks let us hear from you
again.
I am
Yours very truly,
Eveline Hills
