Letter to Mary Hollingsworth from R. W. Mahan in Clinton, Kentucky, writing to reccommend W. A. Steinbeck as an adoptive father. Steinbeck is a Baptist farmer close to Bardwell, Kentucky in Carlisle County. His two daughters are married and he wants a little girl from ages ten to twelve. Mahan writes that a possible adoptive mother reccommended by Mahan in a previous letter, Mrs. Breakfield, failed to take the child.
Mahan writes to the Home on behalf of Daniel Hays, asking him to "send them the ages and characteristics of the boy and girl." He adds that Hays is "a bachelor and probably will remain such." Letter marked Barwell, KY.
