An account sent by St George Ashe to William Musgrave, as promised the previous month of Anne Jackson, a child suffering from a disorder that caused her to grow 'horns' on her body, who had been brought to the Society to be examined. The description is full, because Anne's 'owner' would not allow drawings to be made of the child, who was presumably earning him money through exhibiting her. Anne was born in Waterford to English parents and had developed normally until the age of 3, some ten years before the Society examined her. Following the death of her mother, her father had been unable to support her and she had become a charge on the parish - a charge that was apparently relieved by her exploitation as a freak show. Ashe regrets the lack of family or friends who could give an account of the early development of Anne's condition, but shows no sympathy for the child, treating her as an interesting scientific curiosity and at one point referring to her as 'it'.
