53rd Street Walkthrough Part 5

After your conversation with Mrs. Sherman, head back to Lauren's apartment. You need to look at the envelope that you now have with Mavis's things in it. There are only two Items in the envelope: A letter from a Mr. J Mitchell, a reporter at the New Yorker, and a photo of Mavis and her son.

Once you have opened the envelope and taken an introductory look at both items you should look at the photo again and click on both people in the photo. If you haven't already met Mr. Mitchell, you'll also want to open his letter and click on the letter and his name to make sure you've opened the options that will allow you to find him.

Now you need to return to the construction site. This time when you speak to Mavis she will ask you who you are and not be very nice about it. Respond that you are her son, a necessary deception. Then ask her about Dad. Her response will give you his full name, which you will need soon enough. That is all you need to get from this conversation with her. At this point, you should know that her son's name is Sam, and his father's name is John Durkin.
