Mr Vogle

Sir
The barer of this, is a man of good character and very industrious, his gran-mother has three orphan children to raise, and she has died lately & this man is trying to take care of [[strikethrough]] them [[/strikethrough]] & to raise them, he needs assistance at this time [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] in the way of provisions, he would not ask for help but these are hard time & provisions are very scarce also money is hard to get, anything you may be able to give him will be properly bestowed.

Yours &c
