take the boy along with me, as I really do hate to send him away by himself, and if it is not very far from New York City and the expenses not too much, I would like to keep him safe to his destination and recommend him to the lady. I presume you have written her already.

If you think you could send me a little money, I will be very much unclear, as I am rather hard up. Of course you undestand me that if my circumstances would be better, that is, if I had been left how I had a rights to expect, I would never ask for a cent, but as it is, is quite different.

Please write to me soon.

Your friend Mrs C. Gentile

The boy's policy was made in the name of Carlo Humbert Gentile
