Boston, January 11, 1910. 



Dear Sir: 



My at t edition has been called to the condition of 

 Ogd rge B. Prothinghan, for many years with the Bostonian 

 Opera Qozrp&ny. 



Mr. Prothinghan is now over seventy years of age 

 and is too old to follow up his profession. 



He is in straightened circumstances and I thought 

 that if a few of his friends would start a fund for the 

 support of Mr. Prothijighan and his wife that it would carry 

 then along for a tine. I will start the fund with $25.00. 



Any funds sent to me will he devoted to the care of 

 Mr. and Mrs. Prothinghan. I will look after it personally. 



Hoping that you can see your way clear to send a 

 donation, thereby aiding a worthy couple, I am 



Yours Fincerelv, 



Br. Oeorge Kennedy, 



284 Warren Street,
