    Rowlett writes to Weller to inform him that the conditions for adoption or release of a child from the Home "make it impossible for [them] to think of trying farther to take a girl from the Home." He says that they "did not wish nor expect to get one as a servant, but what [they] want is a girl to assist [him] with [his] household duties." He goes on to say that he would have "conscientious scruples about promising to treat one exactly as [his] own child," and seems very disappointed in the conditions about the Home. Letter marked Habardsville, KY.
