Description

Mrs. N. M. Sanderson writes to the Home "in behalf of his little children," Mary (7 years old) and Willie (6 years old) Freeman. The children's father is dead and their mother is very poor and is desperate for the children to be placed in the Home. Sanderson includes references for the children, and a note on one side of the letter from M. A. H. (very likely Mary Hollingsworth) asks that the children be checked out by a doctor and admitted. Letter marked Cave City, KY.
