H. W. Pickering, President. F.L. Church, Cashier:

Old Boston National Bank, Boston Aug^t. 15. 1883.

My dear Sir,

When I was at M^t. Auburn last Sunday afternoon, I left my cane, which I value much, in the office at the gate, while leaving a message for you with the men there. - I forgot to take it when I left, but sent out one of my servants the next day, supposing of course it would be safe - but to my surprise found that the man had given it to a stranger who made no claim to it, & had not asked for it as I understand. --

Under the circumstances I trust that some effort may

H.W. Pickering, President. F.L. Church, Cashier:

Old Boston National Bank, Boston 18[83]

be made to recover the cane for me, as it is of value to me, & of some value in itself - it was an Irish thorn with large round head. -

If you will be kind enough to endeavor to recover the cane for me, you will much oblige

Yours very truly

H.W. Pickering.
