Flora 7P/N £28-19-8 Particulars of this family recorded to show that age, is not always a criterion by which the eligibility of a family can be determined. The two lads aged 19 & 17 respectively are smaller of stature and possess much less physical power than many boys some years younger. One of the most wretched families submitted for ?inspection. Their appearance was truely appalling and their grief on being rejected most painful to witness. Attention was drawn to the condition of this family to Mr. MacLeod of Kingsborough and a small subscription raised for them by Miss McLeod. They were carefully fed for some time and greatly ?improved in health and appearance and were permitted to proceed on the Priscilla.
