FROM Sanford Union,

The Church of England Homes for Waifs and Strays letter dated 29 March,1901//Dear Sir//re Annie Garwood//I have the pleasure to inform you that the above girl has been placed with a Mr. Robert Grey, of Harrisberg, Ontario. She is reported as being a nice child, and appears to be happy in her home.//Yours faithfully E. Rudoff
Age 12- good home- employed at general house work- a healthy, robust girl; weighs 104 pounds- attends Methodist church- does not attend school- character a truthful and obedient girl –
Terms – Board and clothing.
Mrs. Gray finds her rather tardy with her work, but she is a very willing girl. She does not learn quickly, but on the whole is satisfactory. The girl likes her place and work; is treated kindly, and is contented. She is well supplied with clothing.
Age 14 - Annie Garwood was here for almost three years, and for no reason that I could understand from Mrs. Gray, Mr. Gray returned her to Niagara-on-the-Lake. They give a good report of her and state that her conduct was exemplary. I presume they did not wish to enter into a new indenture.
21 March, 1902. On the 9th of October 1902, the Lady Superintendent of the Society's Home, Niagara-on-the-Lake advised me that Annie Garwood had been returned to the Home on the 28th of December 1901. the Matron had no suspicion that there was anything wrong with the girl, otherwise than being a little out of health. Upon being questioned she acknowledged, however, her unfortunate condition. Mrs. Manning, their visitor, went to see the Grays twice, and also consulted the Country Crown Attorney, whi in the absence of corroborative proof, advised that it would be hard to obtain redress. Inn the month of May Miss Bayley placed her in the Salvation Army Rescue Home//I again visited Harrisburg on the 26th of October 1902, and made further inquiries concerning this girl's case, from what I learned, I am of the opinion that the Society's Agent has done everything necessary for her welfare.//I subsequently saw Annie Garwood at the Salvation Army's Rescue Home. She has every comfort and the Marton expresses a deep interest in her general welfare,and informs me that she will provide her with a place as domestic servant when she leaves the Institution.
