Letter to Mrs. M. E. Hollingsworth [presumably Mary] from W. S. Ryland, President of Bethel College in Russellville, Kentucky. Ryland mentions a Mrs. Atwood that came to the College with five small children, unable to care for them. Atwood wished to go to Louisville and put four of the children in a home, while her and the youngest baby would search for a job. Ryland as well as others at the College would like to know if she applied to send her children there or not. She also writes that a Dr. Gordon and his wife would like to adopt a little girl.
