with Mrs J W Martyn, P.O Canton, Hope Twp, Durham, Ontario

May 23 1900

Age 12, good home, employed as general servant, very healthy girl, attends Methodist Church and Sunday school. Fair Education.
Character very truthful and honest, no complaints. Terms-Board and Clothes for first year, then new agreement. In my opinion this girl has been well placed. Mrs Martyn is very considerate and appears to take a deep interest in her, and treats her as one of the family. The girl is very neat with her work, and is quite happy and contented.
