2. 7.1933 From half-caste Institution Stuart to Police Stuart
Re jacky King @ Jacky Cooper 3/4C
To Sgt Lovegrove
Stuart
This Aboriginal has for some months now been apparently looking for
a wife, and as he is a three quarter Aboriginal, he has received no
encouragement to come to this Institution.
Maybe you will remember my mentioning him to you some months ago
as becoming more or less a nuisance, also that he was trying to get
Melba Palmer to marry him.
He came up here today with Dido Cooper, Norman Bray and Jean Smith
(Mrs Dutchy) and later on Emily Gordon arrived from Mrs D D Smiths.
Emily Gordon informed Mrs Freeman that Jacky Cooper or King was worring
her to marry him, also gave Mrs Freeman his letter proposing
marriage, which is now in my possession.
This girl does NOT want anything to do with him, nor does Melba
Palmer, anyway Emily Gordon is far too young to contemplate marrying.
I have told this young man to keep away from all these young girls,
and I now hear he is going to try for Topsy Glynn, at Mrs Glass,
or Myrtle McDonald.
This boy has been taking Emily, Topsy and Myrtle to Mr Kramers
church, and coming home with them.
Admittedly these girls are three quarter black as well, but they are
far too good for this man, and at present too young to marry.
(hand written - They could marry Half-Castes)
I do not consider that it is the thing for a man of this description
to be worrying these gorls, and should you agree with me, I would be
pleased if you would watch out to see that he does not have
anything more to do with them.
He apparently lives on 'his means' as I have not heard of him working
since he came from the South to the Alice.
When Dido Cooper was at 'The Jay' he was always writing to her for
money.
I may also mention that he endeavoured to get a wife from the
Mission. He would be a good deal better off if he endeavoured to get
some work to do out of the Township.
He is living with Stormy Campbell.
(Handwritten - I also hear that this man has left a native woman
and child down South, with whom he was living.
