Dear Mr. Denk:
I hope you will spare 
a few minutes of your time and read 
this.
I know you are a friend to me 
or anyone else who appreciates your 
friendship.  Mr. Denk I don't 
know whether you know why 
I quit working over there or not.
I was out sick and when I 
went back to work Mr. Baker 
wanted to fire me, but I insisted 
upon working a notice, so he 
let me.
I have heard it was because 
I belong to the union.  I'll ad-
mit that I join the union but 
only went twice and I wasn't 
belonging to it when Mr. 
Baker made me quit.
I'm just a poor working 
girl and I have to earn my own 
living.  I certainly will appre-
ciate it if you will give me 
a position, I can make $8.00 
a week easily sewing, where 
I have to work great deal 
harder anywhere else for $6.00.
I see my mistake in joining 
the union, for they haven't 
help me any at all, only helped 
me to lose my position.
Hoping to receive a favor-
able reply at once, I remain

Your Sincere Friend

P.S.  Mr. Denk you can let 
me know by Mattie my 
little sister, she works after school.
