Garrett "of your place" is coming soon to Bardwell and if she can bring "the child" with her. If not, he asked that the child can be sent to Bardwell in care of S. B. Penn, and to notify Stovall at Cunningham, Carlisle co., KY 4 or 5 days in advance. He stated that a check for $5 is enclosed. Letter marked Bardwell, KY.
