Dear Mr. Jackson

In reply to your letter, we would state that the mistake was due to
the handwriting of the child's mother, making the name appear to be
spelt with one "e" instead of two, and thus making it a boy's name.

We will endeavor, as soon as possible, to repair our error, as it was
never our intention to deceive you.

Very truly yours.
Junior Committee of the Fatherless
Children of France.
