Seek to Spare Mother

They say that Tucker, a boy about
IA, was last seen on deck praving
aloud that he might be forgiven for
leaving his home in PENNSYLVANIA
without his parents consent. He
spoke of a mother in a PENNSYLVANIA
town whom he desired should be told
how he had died. After the ship had
sunk he was not among those who
were picked up. The survivors were
unable to remember the name of the
town.
The writer of the letter is anxious
the relatives be located, especial "the
mother that it may save her years of
uncertainty and worry for the boy
who left home and never returned"
