mother at the wash-tlib, on an income
perhaps sufficient to support, to feed and
be welcomed into the world?
"The remarks the mother made to me
with reference to the coming of that child
showed me very plainly the welcome it
would receive. The income of the family
did not exceed $3.50 week. and there
were seven children to feed. and the
father was n prison.
