Noteswith John G Martin, farmer, P.O Duncrief, Middlesex, Ontario

July 9 1900

Age 15, splendid farm home, employed at farm chores, a healthy robust boy, attends Methodist Church, does not attend school, character good, terms-$100 at end of 4 years and clothing. Henderson is a little slow in learning to do things, but is making good progress, and gives his employer satisfaction; is a little small for his age. The boy had no complaints and appears to appreciate a good home. He would not like to leave this place.
