  Katie M. Wright writes to the Home on behalf of her mother and father, asking if the Home has a girl about 10 or 12 years old they could adopt. She says that she is their only daughter, and married 15 years ago, after which they adopted an orphan girl who has also recently been married. She says that her "only brother Dr. A. B. Coons" adopted a boy about 14 years ago from the Home who is now "a fine young man." She says that they are all Baptists and offers Bro. W. E. Powers and J. T. Sampson as references. Handwritten, "Sent them Edna White." Letter marked Pendleton, KY. In a telegram from 6 Jan 1907, Wright writes to clarify any questions the home has, saying that her mother is 65 and her father is 75 and there "has always been a orphan in this home even before my birth." She says that they live on a four mile plot in the country, 2 miles from a church and 0.5 miles from a school. In a letter from 17 Jan 1907, Wright asks if the girls have ever had measles, and says that she has been very sick.

In a letter from 25 Feb 1907, Wright says that her father will send the necessary paperwork in soon for Edna White. She says that Edna is now with her mother and father, and that her husband visited on Sunday and "told her he had come to see if she wanted to return to the home and she informed him she did not and was so far well pleased." Letters marked Pendleton, KY.
