Dear Sir.

Charles E. Walsh, an aged individual, is in very destitute circumstances and wishes to return to his wife in England. He is a British pensioner and intends first to proceed to New London, Canada, and draw his quarter's pension which will pay his way from that point to England. Money is being collected for him but he has not sufficient to pay full fare, and the question is will you extend to him the same privilege, under the circumstances, as to our missionaries.

Your favorable answer is respectfully solicited.
Yours with respect

D. McKenzie,
Sec. Prest. B. Young.
