A Letter Brings Return and New Family Hope
A pale sick woman and her son read a life changing letter from a New York benefactor who offers passage to England. The boy recalls a rough but kind donor, and a chance reunion reveals Edward as a benefactor and husband to the mother guiding the boy to a new home and a father. The story ends with a moral to do good when possible.
