Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dodsworth,
Thank you for your interest in the Time Travel Adoption Agency. We have been lucky enough to find siblings for you to adopt. It is our opinion that they will be wonderful additions to your family and good siblings to
Freya and
Iris.
This beautiful little girl is
Maria Nettie Accosi, age eight, hailing from 1910. The beloved only child of her parents,
Maria is alone in the world due to a fire in her family's apartment. She doesn't like school much, because she is deaf in one ear and finds it hard to hear and thus learn. She does, however, enjoy jumping rope and playing with dolls, and will likely be a much better student when she's in an environment which will allow her to succeed.
These two children are siblings
Tom Albert Dillard (standing), age 4, and
Jessie Katherine Dillard (held), age 1.5, pictured with their mother and Aunt
Beulah.
Tom and
Jessie's father died just a year ago; then, in the summer of 1924, their mother and aunt were murdered, leaving them without home or guardian. They are both good children;
Tom is generally well-mannered for a little boy of his age, and
Jessie doesn't
always wear such a funny facial expression.
For reasons outlined above, it is important that we are able to fit these children with a new parent or parents as soon as possible. Thank you for your generous offer to consider taking them in. All of our potential adoptees understand that they may be requested to go by new names in their new lives and are not averse to the possibility, though we at the Time Travel Adoption Agency recommend that a new parent or parents keep at least some vestiges of their old names.
Sincerely yours,
Arraya Light
P.S. After having the children a few months, should you indeed confirm your adoption, we would be delighted to receive a letter in return; it is important for us to follow up on our charges and see if the children are adjusting to their vastly different ways of life.
