I begin to think you have forgotten your promise and I have to conclude to write you to know what you intend doing for me if intend geting my boy for me or not if you do not intend geting him for me please let me know so I may try some one else for I want my child. Please do not disappoint me anymore. Write me and let me know what you will do. I shall expect a letter from you soon.
