An application to adopt a young English girl whose father has abandoned her and her brother, and whose mother has passed away due to "consumption" (Tuberculosis).
The girl and her brother were with the Portuguese Mission convent. After considering the welfare of the boy, who would be left behind, the adopting couple agree to adopt the two children. And the application would be re-submitted.

A letter from the former Chaplain of St Andrew's Cathedral, he disputes the testimony of the Portuguese mission nuns who said that the mother of the children requested that the children be raised Catholic.
