DEAR SIR-So many years have pa srd
away since wrote To YOU. and 50 painful
are the circumstances under which now
write, that scarcely know how to aG-
dress YOU. Is it not strange that in the
darkest hour Of my life turn to you for
aid? but not for mvself-it is Tor my
children's sake that am about to ask for
assistance. Will you believe that only
q
me. that am penniless. and my childr,
almost wanting bread and I am still
weak from recent Illness requiring n0ur-
ishment ! cannot procure? My husband,
after Il series o.! misiortunes. has been
made bankrupt, and since that time we
have undergone much misery.
You will say that either yourself. or any
member Of your family, are the last per-
sons that should hope would help ne.
even from the horrors of utter luin. !
know this is true. but rcca your moth
er's grand and noble charity which knew
no difference when sorrow claimed her
aid. and thus have dared to hope that
even | may receive help for my children.
| must beg you 10 believe that am
conscious of DESCRIBING nothing at your
hands; but ! hope that my conduct to
yoursclf--crueI. and ungrHtefnl as it was.
