21st. June. 1900.

Dear Mr. Stein,

I have to thank you for your letter of the 16th. inst. and for the offer contained therein. If you can help us with some of the cases referred to in the enclosed, I shall be glad.

Thanking you for your kind help and interest,
Believe me,
Yours faithfully,
Sec E de M R

P.S.
Will you be so good as to let me know whether your Home at Wingfield House is still specially intended for working boys? From experience, I do not think it quite advisable mixing little boys with those older and who g out to work, so that if you will kindly favour me with a few more particulars as to the exact nature of your Home, I shall be obliged.
