 Now for this reason l would advise | that she be removed from the County | Hospital and sent to some place where | her surroundings would Se not such as to endanger her lie. She informs me that she has relatives living near Bos- ton, Mass, and who if the Board of Supervisors saw fit to send her to, would take care of her.
