little son for she wishes him to be properly trained and under good influences. She feels sure that if he were in one of your homes he would be far better of than in any home which she could possibly provide for him. My wife and I will be most grateful if your Committee will give this sad case careful and sympathetic consideration for we firmly believe that it is a deserving one.

E.H. Leale
