Dear B. Virdot,


Dear B.Virdot

          I am responding to your ad in the paper, the one about giving money to deprived families and people. My name is Quentin Davis and my address is 53, Engle Street, Canton, Ohio. I need your aid because I am in a grim crisis. I have 4 living kids; the other 5 passed away, three because of being deprived of resources, and the other two due to tuberculosis. The crisis I’m in is that I as well have tuberculosis, and have from my guess about two weeks to live. My wife doesn’t know that I’m writing this letter to you, and doesn’t know about the tuberculosis because I don’t want her to worry. If you gave me this aid, I would spend the money on food for my family who is already starting to starve. This would all make my last few days much more bearable.
Sincerely,
Ben Durfee
