Correspondence with [Aubrey Mervyn Owen John] Lloyd, army officer, relating to discussion of a proposal for Lloyd and Guy Duell to undertake to produce a detailed report on the casual wards [of the workhouses] in the neighbouring poor law authorities, which is accepted, with the suggestion that no reference to Poor Law administration should be made, in order to see the wards in their true state. Also included is an offer of an article for publication in the Manchester Guardian by Frank Jennings on the life for the homeless and unemployed in London, which is accepted. There is a letter of thanks from Scott for a summary of [unknown] recommendations provided by Lloyd and Mary Higgs, social reformer. There are excerpts of a report by Lloyd on conditions in casual wards, in which he has stayed.
