Respectfully returned. The girl within named, Grace Philliips is now living with Thomas R. Bird, at No 669. M St. in this City. She has apparently been kindly treated, is well fed and clothes but has had no advantages of education.
She expressed an unwillingness to return to her mother - an indistinct or no remembrance of the latter, andkind treatment by Mrs. Bird, it is presumed being the reason Mrs. B. seemed to retain her at least until her husband returns to the City, where she thinks, he can produce Indentured binding the child to him.
Mrs. Bird is expected next month but at what time it is not known.
