MAN SURELY NEEDED HELP

Trebly Bereaved, One Believed' His Appeal for "Lone” Must Have Been Granted. A Boston philanthropist, it is said, not long ago received the following letter: “Dear and Noble Sur: Knowing your kind hart an nobleness of nachur I rite these few line* to ast will you be so kind as to add to your gqpd deads the following. I have lately lost my horse, my home and my wife. So being horseless, homeless and wifeless i am up agin it hard trying to earn a living. Would you be so kind in* the goodness of your grate hart to help me along some finanshiaily untill 1 can replace my three losses when 1 am shure i can repay you. Once on my feet- L can- make good my losses an would pay back the lone with intrest. A small lone would help but a biger one would help me to reach the gole of suekcess sooner and therefore you would get your money back sooner so it would be better for both if the lone could be large as possible. Hope to have favorable reply, etc.”
