application handed by Bank Manager of local branch at Gunbower, National Bank of Australiasia Ltd.
Bank manager, 10 Jan 1918, p.3-4: lots of stuff about her blindness, how she used to be able to read English but cannot any longer because of her poor sight. Admits she has never been able to write in any language. 'Her inability to read and write is not on account of any enemy knowledge, as she has not even seen a foreign country.She appears to be loyal, and deplores the nationality of her late husband who died over twenty years ago.'
