ABANDONED BABY.
MOTHER'S FAREWELL NOTE.
*' Please look after my little baby Frances. I have no money to keep her. She is the sweetest baby ever was. Goodbye, darling. Mother must leave you now."
This message was written in pencil on a sheet of paper found beside a baby girl left in the Windsor (Southern) Railway Station waiting room on a recent Sunday afternoon. The baby, which had been placed on two chairs, is about three or four months old.
Shortly before the infant was found a womari wearing a long green coat and having long fair hair and wearing no hat was seen with a baby in her arms. The child was handed over to the Windsor police and afterwards conveyed to Windsor Poor Law Institution.
