Letter to Mr. Jno. Weller from Geo. A. Cubbage, Clerk for the Grayson County Clerk in Leitchfield, Kentucky. Mr. Cubbage writes that his uncle, Joseph Cubbage, has no small children and wishes to adopt a healthy boy at least nine years old. As his uncle is not able to go to the city on his own, Geo. A. Cubbage offers to visit the Home on his behalf a choose a boy. Miss Cilla Owen is said to know Mr. Cubbage, and he asks that a boy around ten years old be on hold for a week until he arrives. Mr. Cubbage's other uncle, Ed Thomas, also known as W. C. Evans, can be a reference to Jo Cubbage's character.
Letter to Mary Hollingsworth from Geo. A. Cubbage in response to Mr. Jno. H. Weller confirming they can hold a boy for adoption until Cubbage arrives in the city. He has gotten sick since writing, but will be well soon to come get the boy. He asks if the boy can be had as an apprentice, as his uncle would not adopt him otherwise.
