A London visitor notes police traffic and charity in the city but finds London charities lacking in scope.

The institute offers ten pence nightly beds, meals, hot water, and supervision by a matron and nurse, assisting seamstresses, vendors, and other trades. It preserves dignity with prudent criteria, recounts tales of former gentlewomen fallen on hard times, and provides Sunday Bible classes and a mission service.
