He asks on Cress' behalf if she and her children could stay at the Home, as Cress would be "glad to get in the Home and do any work you desire." If not, he asks for the Home to take the two older children. Mary Cress is listed as living in Hazle Patch, Laurel Co., Kentucky. Letter marked Livingston, KY.
Letter to Baptist Oprhan Home from Susie Mullins in Livingston, Kentucky. She writes that Mary Cummins, widow of Allen Cummings who died in Broadhead (a city in the same county as Livingston), has two small children left "in a helpless condition." The mother is oppossed to sending the small children away, but as their Father was a member of the Baptist Church of Broadhead, Mullins thinks the Home can provide some relief. On the back of the letter, in different handwriting is the name "Judge G. Carter, Broadhead, Kentucky."
