Excerpt from Letter to J. H. Wilkins, H. B. Rogers, and F. B. Fay, Commissioners of Massachusetts: For the State Reform School for Girls Boston, Nov. 10, 1854. Messrs. John H. Wilkins, Henry B. Rogers, Francis B. Fay, Commissioners appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts to select and determine the location, and prepare plans and estimates of the building for a State Reform School for Girls, with a system for its organization and government, &c. &c. Gentlemen, - I thank you for the circular of the 3d instant, which you were pleased to send me. In 1850, a letter upon the same subject was received from the Hon. William Appleton, to which I replied at length. The reply has not been printed; and as it contains some views which you may possibly think worth considering, though they are not common or popular, and as I am not able to answer your thirty questions so fully as their importance demands, I send it to you for want of a better. My great interest in the subject, however, will not permit me to lose this opportunity for the expression of some thoughts suggested by your Circular, and of some criticisms, the freedom of which your liberality will pardon. I am glad to see that the sacred social duty of attempting to reform vicious or viciously disposed girls is at last to be undertaken by the State. But I am sorry to see, as I do, in the spirit of the Resolutions of the Legislature, and in the tenor of your questions, that this delicate and difficult task is to be attempted by the machinery of an establishment similar to the great Reform School for Boys at Westborough.
