 Dear Sir,

I understand that you have a school for the orphans. My niece, Miss. Jane Eyre, who is ten years old, is an orphan. She lost her parents. I am finding it difficult to bring her up here. So I request you to admit her in your charity institution. If you permit to take her, I will send her to Lowood.

                                    Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Reed.
