every alternate verse. Mr Harris and another man
brought Mrs Harris in a Hansom Cab. the
poor man begd [begged] she might be admitted that
"he would willingly pay for her" she was in
a pitiable state, her hair down over her face &
neck, an old torn dress.

complained to the ladies that Elizth [Elizabeth] Cooper had
stolen her petticoat. J Harris has had three fits [underscored]

Annie came again with Mr Gully. but the Matron would
not be persuaded to receive her without a
note from Mrs Goodlet.
