Sent by San?ford Union,

with Mrs Robert Gray, farmer, P.O Harrisburgh, Con 1, Beverly Twp, Brant, Ontario

July 6 1900

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.

with Mrs Robert Gray, Harrisburgh, Beverly Twp, Brant, Ontario

March 21 1902

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 that they did not wish to enter into a new indenture.

April 3 1902

Annie Garwood is still in the home

On the 9th October 1902, the Lady Superintendant of the Societys Home, Niagara on the Lake, advised me that Annie Garwood had been returned to the home on 28th day 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 County Crown Attorney, who in the absence of corroborative proof, advised that it would be hard to obtain redress. In the month of May, Miss Bayley placed her in the Salvation Army Rescue Home.

I again visited Harrisburgh on 28 October 1902, and made further enquiries concerning this girls case, from what I learned, I am of the opinion that 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 Matron expresses a deep interest in her general welfare, and informs that she will provide her with a place as domestic servant when she leaves the Institution.
