15 Ellis Avenue,
C——, April 10, 19—.

Dear Mr. Tillotson:—

I am grieved to have to inform you that my mother is very seriously ill. She begs me to say it would be a great comfort if you would come and read a little with her, if you could spare the time. In any case, I should be very glad to think she had seen you, as it is her earnest wish to enjoy this privilege.

Faithfully yours,
Arthur Bisbee.
