    Mrs. Napher [? Name smudged badly] writes to the Home regarding the girl she adopted, Ida Irvin. She says that "its impossible for [her] to keep her," and that she has "tried to teach her to be a good girl have offered her a good home a long as she behaved and tried to half way right- but its all useless." She complains about the language Ida uses in front of her daughter, that she put her "under false impression," and that she "slips out and goes buggy riding with the boys." She says that she is sending her back on the 11 o'clock train on the 28th. Letter marked LaGrange, KY.
