To the President and members OF
the w. G. T. U. of Platteville, I wish
to express our thanks for the reading
matter so regularly sent to the in
mates, also for the beautiful flowers
sent to each inmate on Flower Mis-
sion day; the reading matter and
flowers have always been appreciated
by the patients, who look forward to
their coming with a gratifying in
terest. Thanks are due some others
for reading matter, all of which is ap
preciated
In submitting this report to you
gentlemen, l feel it my duty to give
due credit to Mr.. Anderson, under
whose watchful care the crops of
1902 grew and were secured, and the
live stock attained it's excellent condi-
ton. The extent and condition of the
seasons crops were always familiar
to him, as also the quality and
quantity of each kind of live stock
on the farm.
1t was under his orders that the
entire farm was worked and his
supervision was daily and personal
while he was able. So you should feel
and know that the success of the past
year, if success there was, was largely
due to his skillful judgment and I'M
firing efforts. When the great
bereavement fell upon us, by his I'LL
timely death, feel and know, that
you sustained the loss of an efficient
aid, and these institutions the loss of
a superintendent whose heart over
flowed with kindness, who wished
success to crown his efforts, in striv-
ing to ameliorate the condition of the
unfortunates under his care; one to
whom honesty and truthfulness
toward his fellowmen was his religion
and injury toward others never to be
contemplated.
| wish to express to you, gentlemen,
my sincerest thanks for your prompt
and efficient aid at the time of Mr..
Alderson's death, and I acknowledge
to the fullest extent the faithful,
earnest, untiring efforts, of each and
every attendant and helper here, to
tighten my burden and to carry for
ward the work successfully, with as
little annoyance as possible to me.
Feeling that it would be better for me,
to continue my supervision here,
accepted your kind proposition to do
so until the end of the term, and with
efficient help, entered upon the work
of preparation for the summers
work, and present care and welfare Of
the inmates. That my efforts have
not been useless, | must believe, or
you would not have again rendered
me the position of Superintendent and
Matron. With the frequent visits and
wise counsel of the Board of Control,
DR.. S. E. Hassell, and you, the Board
of Trustees, accepted the important
responsibility and care of these in
situations, and I fully appreciate the
confidence you have placed in me,
and | expect to devote my physical
and mental strength to maintain the
excellent standing of our Institutions
accorded to them by those, whose
business it is to know, and who DO
know, how they are cared for and
managed.
Allow me again to thank all who
have aided us during the past year to
a reasonably good administration, and
to thank all kind friends who were
legion, at the time of my deep sorrow,
and again to thank you beyond the
power of my thought to express, for
your kindness to me, and to our un-
fortunate charges.
Respectfully submitted,
G. e. ANDERSON, Sup't.
