Black and white photograph showing Emily Godfrey, Matron at the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital run by the Methodist Missionary Society (formerly the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society). Miss Godfrey squats down on the ground with her arms around a small child while she wipes his mouth. The child, "Baby Peter", may have been an abandoned baby, one of many cared for by the hospital, or may be ill. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey.
