Age 15, Mr Tierney returned this boy to the Superintendant on 5th August last. He has been in a poor state of health since the month of February. A physician was consulted by Mr Tierney concerning his case and made the following report

Sgd R B McKay, M.D

Mr Washington, the Superintendant, states that he is endeavoring to have the boy placed in the Gravenhurst Sanitarium for Consumptives and has made application for his admittance. It is alleged that his father died of consumption.

22 September 1902
