    Mrs. James Harris writes to Weller regarding Parton, a boy she adopted from the Home last October. She states that she is "sorry to say he is one of the worst children I ever saw" and that he has been "nothing but trouble to us for over a year and gets worse all the time." She states that he was better behaved when they lived in the country, that she wants to return the boy, and that perhaps he would do better with a family in the country. Weller writes on the top of the letter "cannot take him back advised her to send him to State School of Reform," Apl 18 1900. Letter marked Hardinsburg, KY.
