    S. E. Trice writes to Weller to recommended Bro B. C. Foster "of this vicinity." He says that he is a "well-to do, small farmer, in good shape financially." Letter marked Hopkinsville, KY. In a letter from 8 Feb 1896, Foster writes to Weller, explaining that he cannot come to Louisville to select a child, but will pay the railroad fare for one to be sent to him on a trial basis in case he wants to return it. He requests a boy that is "good, healthy, lidable," under 9 or 10 years old, and requests papers. Weller writes on the back "will not send on trial- must come and see us and have understanding" on Feb 10. Letter marked Hopkinsville, KY.
