Dear
Friend:
Well
I don't suppose you know who I am. But I'm a 16 year old mother¬less
girl that has to work hard for all she gets. I have a brother
& a sister & daddy We are working at day labor for a
living and don't get much of that to do. In the winter I could
piece quilts if I had any scraps. We are trying to keep off
the relief this winter so we are keeping every penny we can
to buy groceries this winter, Whether we have sufficient clothes
or not. We haven't even enough furniture. We haven't any bedsteads,
a stove, or cabinet. some of our Neighbors are letting us use
their stove, cabinet, & one bedstead. I thought you might
have some old clothes, coats, and shoes. or any kind of clothing
you could send to us. I have read so much about your kindness
I know if you have any you will send them. I would send some
money for postage but haven't any. Address to your loving friend
Miss D. H.
