Scope and content
On embossed paper for the Savile Club, 15 Savile Row, W. - Sends article from The Nineteenth Century on the child criminal [no longer present]; the writer is well-informed and seeks to re-establish a reformatory system that has been allowed to lapse; ignorant politicians are to blame; invites Houghton to contribute an article on the work at Redhill to Our Times; earnest support of the late Prince Consort did much to raise public interest.
