It has
now been more than two years since you have
assisted me, and more than three since you have spoken to me. I feel
little hope that you will pay any regard to this letter, but still I
cannot refrain from making one more attempt to interest you in my
behalf. If you will only consider in what a situation I am placed you
will surely pity me — without friends, without any means, consequently
of obtaining employment, I am perishing — absolutely perishing for want
of aid. And yet I am not idle — nor addicted to any vice — nor have I
committed any offence against society which would render me deserving
of so hard a fate. For God’s sake pity me, and save me from destruction.
