The am't received for work this month
£40.16.5. we have only 23 inmates, and
one of them is an idiot! Dr. Nathan has given an order
for her to go to Paramatta Asylum. another is very
little better. Dr. N. Roberts says she is of "weak intellect."
The only thing she is a master of, is making mischief and quarreling with her fellow inmates. then we have two invalids, not able to wash and are very indifferent needle women, there
remains only 19 to do all the washing, scouring &c.
