security & oh, yet I would like
to try another year in my business
I love it & know I can succeed
in time if only some one would
advance me a few hundred
dollars without interest; then
I could get started & in time
with Gods grace hope to pay it off.
When you read this, please have
patience & do not {condemn ?} me
& make my sufferings public
That is what I shrink from so dreadfully.
If in your heart you can find
some advise [sic] for me, then please
answer me a few lines. If you
do not see fit, then do please burn
this letter & do not mention my
name I'm {plore ?} you. Trusting to your
noble spirit that you will understand
me. I sign with tears of shame.
