Dear Sir

I am willing to pay for the orphan boy T. as you appear to consider his case a very desirable one. I suppose you will take him into one of you homes.

I must request that you will not give my name to his Brother nor print it in your paper or report. I enclose a cheque for £6 for six months payment will you be good enough to let me know from what date I am to consider the half year to begin.

I remain
Yours truly
