with Mrs Samuel Noxon, P.O Wellington, Prince Edward, Ontario

May 22 1900

Age 16, excellent home, employed as general servant, good health, attends Methodist church, does not go to school, was in 4th standard in England, character-willing; of good character so far-terms-wages $3 per month. Gives satisfaction so far, only came her thursday of last week. The girl likes her new home. She is happy and contented. Mrs Noxon states that she is getting along nicely.
The girl informed me that she could not get along with Mrs Conger's little granddaughter who used to tell tales on her, and Mrs Conger would scold her. This was why she wanted to leave the Congers. In every other way she was treated well. She is rather a neat and tidy girl.
