At ———, visited No. 325, placed December 11, 1863,
with a wealthy farmer. This dear child is very pretty—has
been adopted, with every advantage, both temporal and spir-
itual, afforded. Behold a brand plucked from the burning;
an orphan girl of twelve years, rescued from one of the lowest
dens of iniquity and crime in our city, frequented by both
whites and blacks.

At Sandy Hook, Washington co., Md., visited No. 48,
placed February 14, 1861, with J. H., a well-to-do farmer.
Boy nearly of age, a great favorite. This was a news boy,
taken from a wretched cellar, in a degraded locality in the
southern section of our city. His home has made a "man"
of him.

Near Oakland, Allegany co., Md., visited No. 5, placed
November 3, 1860, with J. P., a poor farmer, owning 1,000
acres of poor land—a poor house and a poor manager. Few
educational advantages, either spiritual or intellectual. Soy
the son of a destitute widow. REMOVED HIM, after my return to
Baltimore; having traveled SEVEN HUNDEED MILES,
and visited TWENTY-NINE CHILDREN, at an expense of
only NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY CENTS.
