Penny Fleck letter

Dear Thomas,

There is a definite possibility that
I will die soon as I have been very
sick lately. It is for this reason that
I am writing you another letter now.
As you well know I love you
very much. Over the past seven
months I've send you dozens of letters
in the faint hope that you would
get back to me. I honestly did not
wish to bother you over the years
because I know how much pain
and suffering our love has caused
for both of us.

I realize this might open me
up to ridicule, but I need you help
your son and I need your help.

I'll admit to you that the reason
I'm asking is because my living conditions
are so dire and I have no insurance
or opportunities for any future.

Thomas, you are the only hope for
me and your son. Arthur is a good
boy. Maybe a little sad, but a good
boy none the less. I think you would
be proud of the job I've done with him,
and how happy he is most of the
time.

And Thomas I'm asking you
to please look into your good heart
and at least give us something
so we can better our station, and
become the kind of people you
could love and respect.

I love you forever,

Penny Fleck
