To Hon R. M. Manly

Dear Sir

I appeal to your clemency to give me what aid you can from the Bureau I have been teaching for about two years and have but very poor pay. I hope to meet with your approbation Mr Boulding recommended me to you. My rent is high and family large. 

Please and answer when convenient. 

Very Respectfully your obt. Servt
