Report of the Visiting Committee, House of Refuge of Western Pennsylvania:
Mr. Bernard Miller applies for discharge of his daughter Cornelia, aged about 
15.  Committed last May - now in Class No. 5 - she was committed at the 
instance of her father for being at a house of bad repute.  Her mother is in 
consumption and her father wants her at home to take care of her mother.  He is 
satisfied that she did not know the house she was in was a bad house.  She was 
in it only two days, and her father was in too much of a passion about it to 
listen to her explanations.  Her mother is so feeble to be able to work, and he 
has to employ a servant.  Miller is a blacksmith, lives in 5th Ward Pittsburgh, 
No. 500 Liberty Street opposite 5th Ward Market.  Refer to Mr. Sampson for his 
character.  Your Committee feel inclined to recommend her discharge.
