Letter to Dr. J. B. Marvin from Miss Jenny Adamson, January 8th, 1894.

Adamson writes to the Home regarding a young girl (aged 12 or 14, she doesn't know) in her class who is a "half orphan" and whose father is very poor. She hopes to have the girl placed in the Home, as she is currently expected to help raise her two younger brothers. Adamson says that the girl's father also wants her to be raised in the Home, and Adamson is raising the youngest boy. Letter marked Louisville, KY.
