Child notes: This is a very unfortunate child, and should not have been brought out. Is deficient in intellect. Besides which she is afflicted with sore eyes, so that she cannot see at times, and has been under the Doctors care since she came here / 3 years nearly / and has been a great source of expense with no chance of recovery. She is so dull that they cannot teach her anything, and she cannot even tell the figures on the clock. Does not attend school but goes to Sunday school and Church. In a fair country home, and well looked after from pity but they cannot afford to keep her longer.
