Letter: H. W. Warren to Superintendent, 1882 "missing cane" (page 1)

Jamaica Plain. Mass.
July 21/82 Friday

Dear Sir-
This afternoon--after visiting out lot (corner Spruce &
Fir Ave's)--I went with some children to the top of the tower,
and left my cane hanging to
the railing on the top. It was a dark brown cane with common
curving handle; and my name was once plainly cut near the handle, but it may have been worn smooth by this time.
I value the cane as an old
and very useful companion; and if you have had it left in your
charge by the finder, I shall
be very glad to get it again.
