Letter marked Eubanks, KY. In a second letter from 2 May 1894, Mrs. Baker states that her references are attached, and that her "home is quiet yet surrounded with beautiful flowers, books, papers, etc." and that she would lavish the child with love. She says she is interested in an apprentice for now, then adopting the little girl after 1 or 2 years. Letter marked Eubanks, KY.
