Office in Norfolk, your not being in, I saw your Assistant who said he would attend to it when he was at leisure.

You being a friend of the family, and offering to confer any favour, in your power,  I have solicited this, hoping you will give it your earliest attention.

Or give me a letter of introduction or recommendation to your Assistant.

I am very Respectfully yours
Nettie Ivy
Portsmouth, Va.
