Editorial Note: May Bragdon's letter to Trudy about the Orphan Asylum fire, date : January 10, 1901. “…that nursery is in the extreme east end! We had no one at our house for any length of time. One woman who fainted just at the beginning was brought there but we revived her and she was sent over where she lived-on Glasgow Street. The babies were taken to the janitors, near the east wing (that little house) so none were brought in this side of Behns except a stray boy at Lawrence’s and a temporary one-like our woman. We got all ready to put some of them to bed here- but they decided to take them all away. Those whose friends didn’t come were sent to the hospitals—whether well or injured.”
