R. C. Tartar writes to the Home regarding the Bullock children, who he says were "sent by me to your good Institution sometime ago." He says that John will be 9 on August 28th and George will be 6 on October 18th. Their mother is "Mrs. Emiline Bullock" of Somerset, and their father "is a worthless character and his whereabouts is unknown to me now." He asks to hear how they are doing, adding "their mother is a good woman, and a hard working, but the task was too hard for her." Letter marked Somerset, KY.
Tartar writes to the Home regarding two young children he is caring for in the Poor House of Pulaski Co.; one is 4 years old and the other 8 (very likely refers to Jerry Cook and Effie Burdine; see below). Tartar says that one child's mother is "an epeleptic," but "the disease has only recently demonstrated itself;" and the other child's mother "has tubuculosis." He asks for the children to be placed in the Home. Handwritten, "No further notice received." Letter marked Somerset, KY.
