Monday 28th - Having seen a notice in the Herald of the
death of Capt. James Carmichael's little girl, I told
the Mother. also called upon Revd. W. Sharp. he very
kindly visited the sorrowing Mother. and prayed with her.
she is deeply humbled and ownes [owns]that she richly deserves
all this trouble. she told me that she had made up her mind
to destroy herself, the day I took her in.

Teusday [tuesday] 29th. I went to consult with the
father of Adelaide the girl Revd G. Vidall
brought in. he says he cannot do anything with
her that if he gave her sewing, the moment his
back was turned, she left it. he would like to
get her into the Industrial School but fears she
is too old, he or his wife will call upon the
Comt. ladies.
