goodness in my proseat distress.

he das left me with five litulo cuildrom, pomiiless,

and friendlans to fight my way in two world.

My father C. Pereira, a native of Vojlon who served for 17 jours in the Royal Artillery and 11 as a turnkey in two Victoria Gaol was killed in the year 1883 muilut on duty by un

eek outbreak of convicta at Kennedy Town. By this you will cluar

-ly see I have no other menne, sud my children's tender 660, compels me to take unių step.

I have warned him several times, chat if he would

not help us, I shall be obliged to have recourse to the lawful Autuorioj. During these 14 months absence, I only received the poor

acount of £6. I have ever boan a faithful wife to him, and a tender

mother to the children, but in all uis lotuors he simply scorna and frigatous me as you can clearly see by the merevith enclosed.

I shall nover part with my children, I love them toc

dearly, the only thing i bog is a little support.

At the beginning of the present year I laid my

Chuge before the Police, but withdrew it, thinking he would have

sent me some money from time to time.

Teedlework is too poor & support for five little

ones; besides my eyes are getting from bad to worse by continual

overwork.
