We take pleasure in announcing that we are now in a position to supply you with a boy as formerly requested. As to the little girl, we can no doubt provide for her until other arrangements can be made. Elderly gentlemen, we find, are particularly fond of adopting little girls. Hoping you will pardon our delay, and inform us as soon as possible concerning your wishes in this matter, we beg to remain, Sincerely yours, The Junior Committee for The Fatherless Children of France.
