Letter to W. L. Weller from J. W. Lynch, May 14th, 1894.

Lynch writes to the home stating that he has one "little baby girl nearly 19 months old," and that he and his wife wish to "take one by apprentice" between 8 and 9 years old. Letter marked Bardwell, KY. A second letter from Lynch states that he is very sorry the Home would not let him adopt a little girl because they think "we just wanted her for a nurse." He explains that the Home is mistaken, and that they would have treated the girl as one of their own. He asks them to reconsider. Letter marked Bardwell, KY. A second letter from Lynch thanks Weller for reconsidering and says that it is a scarce time of the year so they are not able to send the bonds with money. He asks if he should still send the bonds, and states that he wants the little girl for company for his daughter. Letter marked Bardwell, KY.
