That deponent suffers from chronic throat disease, which at intervals renders her for weeks unable to work; that she believes she cannot make a living for herself in the United States, and desires to return with her mother to Ireland. That deponent is sixteen years old, and was, the greater part of her life, an inmate of Cahirciveen workhouse.
