Mrs. Jessie Moffat Bloch.
Pleasant Valley, Wheeling. W. Va.
Dear Mrs. Bloch In reply TO yours
OF the 4th. you may put me down for
5000 towards the Y. w. c. A. work. !
wish 1t might be possible for me TO do
more than this. but ! am sure you I'M
derstand how many demands are
made upon me from almost every
quarter OF the country. and 1t is alb
solutely necessary to limit my gift
in order that they may go around as
generally as seems wise. and thus
help a great many in a smaller way.
rather than a few with larger sums. |
have given nearly $4,000 TO one in
stitution alone. in which | am inter
ested. the past year. and this is only
one OF many cases where / am really
compelled to render assistance.
Let me know when the subscription
is needed and I will send you my
check. / am delighted to be able 20
assist in this small way a cause which
l firmly believe in. and which l shall
hope TO hear has succeeded in their
efforts in Wheeling.
With kind regards to Mr.. Bloch and
yourself,
Cordially yours.
