Dear Madam: -

I recieved your letter of the 17th - [?] and, to tell
you the truth, it did not surprise me very
much. I fully realize the difficulties in
my path but for the sake of babushka
I must not leave a single thing undone
as long as there is even one chance in a 
million of succeding. I was turning this
thing over and over in my mind and
I happened to think of Mrs. Wold (I am
not sure about the correct spelling of her name)
and her nurses' settlement on Henry [?] N.Y.
I was living away from New York  for
the last 20 years but I hear very much 
about this wonderful woman while I
was there. Of course she may be dead
and buried now for all I know.
She used to know babushka and I am
certain that she would do much to
help her if she was alive now, the 
question is - does she still live

There I happened to think of Jacob
Thiff who is both rich and generous.
Do you think it is advisable for me to 
appeal to him directly.  He does not
know me and he might naturally
take me for some crank and ignore my
letter.  I will be infinitely thankful
to you for any advice you may
give me.
Very respectfully yours
V. Charushin
