Kind Lady
Among the
numerous good things you have
done can you help a private person
who having paid all debts, finds
himself nearly 60 years old and
only a dark future before him. If
I could only get some little assistance
with what I could find to do I
would be able to live and Praise God
which I will do anyhow. Please
forgive the above but it is hard to
be poor having seen better days.

Yours very truly
