Copy. Mrs, Trafalgar Street, Walworth, London.

Dear Sir,

I write in respect of my son J at Talbot Boys' Home, and want to know whether you will be kind enough to send him or whether you would prefer that I should fetch him? I have to thank you for the goodness taught my son while they are under your care. I am more than thankful. Hoping I am not encroaching too much on your kindness when I ask to have him sent home. Will you be so good as to let me know when he will be returnes so that I may leave my work (have the day off) it will mean a lot for me to have to pay his fare. Having again to thank you for when I went down to see him and saw how well he was looked after.

Yours very truly,
Mrs .
