Description
In an earlier letter, J. H. Black wrote to Weller on behalf of Mr. G. B. Stovall. He asked if a Mrs. Katie C. Garrett "of your place" is coming soon to Bardwell and if she can bring "the child" with her. If not, he asked that the child can be sent to Bardwell in care of S. B. Penn, and to notify Stovall at Cunningham, Carlisle co., KY 4 or 5 days in advance. He stated that a check for $5 is enclosed. Letter marked Bardwell, KY. This letter thanks Weller for "bestowing such a blessing upon us, in sending us such a lovely girl," and requests a boy from the Home 10 or 11 years old. Mrs. Stovall says that the boy would assist her with small tasks around the house while Mr. Stovall is out of the home 5 days a week. Letter marked Carlisle Co., KY. Signed by "Mr. Stovall and wife."
