As Peter is the gr gr grandson of Sir John Kirk & grandson of Frank Mitchell Press & Info. Of British Embassy, it's sad to see what he is going through. You can read his book #homelessness #sleepingrough #England #Canada

Looking at #handwriting for #archives30 & there was only one choice, a very formal hand, written with hope. This bible inscription, written by my 3rd great aunt to her nephew. Found in a barn in Canada, where he was sent as a child emigrant. @BHCGI
