_3.--Applying for a Situation as a Cook._

Charlton Place, September 8th, 1894.

Madam:

Having seen your advertisement for a cook in to-day's Times,
I beg to offer myself for your place. I am a thorough cook. I
can make clear soups, entrees, jellies, and all kinds of made
dishes. I can bake, and am also used to a dairy. My wages are
$4 per week, and I can give good reference from my last place,
in which I lived for two years. I am thirty-three years of
age.

I remain, Madam,
Yours very respectfully,
MARY MOONEY.
