Clark writes his brother Jonathan from St. Louis regarding his intent to sell various tracts of land he owns in Clarksville, Indiana. He wants to make sure that the elderly African Americans (assumed to be enslaved people) living there are taken care of and do not suffer. Hopes their brother George is improving. Reports that the weather has been cold, the river is running with ice, and several boats have frozen in it.

Letter to W. L. Weller from Ellen Brock, December 16th, 1894.

Brock writes to Weller regarding her daughter, Nannie. It is implied that Nannie has been adopted and Brock went to the Home to try to get information about her whereabouts with no success. She apologizes for "that old woman that was there with me" and the way she spoke to Weller, saying that she didn't know she would speak that way and that she "never has even seen Nannie, let lone be her grandmother." She asks Weller to "write and tell [her] all about her. If she has a good home, if she goes to school and if she can read and write." She says that she surrendered Nannie when it was impossible for her to take care of her, but now she can and that the situation is very hard for her. She offers to pay money for a photograph of Nannie. Letter marked Ben Davis, Marion Co., IN.
