My dear Lady permit me to adress you these
few lines soliciting your kind sympathy
in aid of a poor but deserving student
of this Institution, who being robbed by cruel
death of Fathers & Brothers as you have been, of
youre son.
My dear Madam I make this appeal to
solicit your kind paternage having herd
over at this great distance of your kindness
to the deserving poor especially those
seekng an education.
I myself have not been blessed with
an abundance of this worlds goods only
sufficient to obtain for me one years
eductation in this institution and which is now
fast drawing to an end which when that point
is reached I know not which way to turn if you deer
madam would kindly consent to help me to finish my
course which will take three years more you would be
doing a kind act for which God in his goodness will
reward you. And althoe now poor & unknown if ever I get to
be anybody of my influence I shall never forget youre kindness
