Wendy, Amelia Stone (sister of Maria) gets a mention in this one. Mrs Anderson's letter is to the inspector, Mr. Rix. Mr Jamieson taught at Hillsborough before Mrs. Anderson. Ronda Hillsborough 889 May 18th 1885 H.Rix Esq Sir, I beg to state that in accordance with my promise I forward an Exercise book which you may or may not have seen at the Show and I regret that the other, E.Knight's has been lost in Beechworth somewhere. However sincerely read you this, to prove that I must have been at some little trouble with this boy, J.Ralph who is now being sent to the Stanley School and you know whether or not they have better exercises there for children 12 years old. I also enclose extracts from two of Mr Jamieson's letters although I suppose my case has quite been disposed of, ere this, but it will convince you that, during the short time he was here, only 3 months, he was so annoyed by the parents that he said he feared they would bring some very serious charge against him and swear black and white that is, as they have done with me - I have only received a reply from one of the girls I had last year, but, believe Amelia Stone will really write the truth if she gets my letter before one from home - I presume I need not get a statement from Louisa Braidwood as she was only with me from the Holidays till the end of February in this year, when her father needed her at Deaderang and according to the e! vidence (which by the way I believe likelous enough) all the trouble was either last year when I had women for servants, and since Easter when Violet has been at Castlemaine. Mr Jamieson had a way of calling them -- 'Paulina' means Mrs Paul and 'The Workmistress' means Mr. T.Michell, because he boasts of his abilities in Needlework, washing, baking and in short he is THE HILLSBOROUGH KING. My little Violet was born at the Goldie School in March 1882 which can very easily be proved if you doubt it by referring to the school rolls where as in this case the school was closed. I have the honor to be Sir Your obedient servant E.Anderson P.S. I only got the exercise book back today. Mapping had not been taught here until I came.
