    W. S. Ryland writes to Hollingsworth on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and Miss Hayes. He states that Hayes inquires about her brother, Henry Hayes, who is about 10 years old and who was born in "this county," "abandoned, or turned loose," by his guardian, and has since disappeared. She thinks he could be placed in the Home. Ryland does not remember the guardian's name. He also states that "the little girl I wrote about some time ago, will not come, as her father is gone off somewhere, and it is feared he might give trouble." Girl likely refers to Lena Brown, whose mother is dead and whose father is poor. Letter marked Russelville, KY.
