The mother of No 1355 Sarah Hamlin asks to have her allowed to come home as she is quite feeble. Our experience with her does not favor such a course. She is frequently of so uncontrollable a temper & so abusive in her language as to give reason to fear that she could be a detriment rather than a benefit to her mother who is so weak, in both mind & body, as to render her an unsuitable advisor or director for one like Sarah. She had been doing very well for a few weeks and our hopes were that the change for the better would be permanent. And upon receiving a visit from her mother yesterday, became quite exciteable and indulged, as heretofore, in language both improper & untrue, causing quite an unpleasant state of feeling among the girls generally. She seems to wish to do better but is so exciteable as to become, for very little cause, beyond other than positive control.

The parents & Grandfather of No 1673 Robert Higginbottom ask to have him indentured to his grand Father, Joseph Goodwin of Saco Maine a well appearing old Gentleman. Joseph M. Ross esq. Of Smithfield, the Trial Justice by whom he was committed recommends that the request be granted, and being quite young, though but about 4 months here, I think it well to grant the request as removal to a farm under such circumstances would give fair promise of improving his condition.
