Letter to the Baptist Orphans Home from Jos. Watson Jr., September 13th, 1894.

Watson writes to the Home in regard to a boy about 3 years of age under his care. He says that his mother and father have "parted," and "his mother not being qualified to keep him," he wants the child kept away from her and where he will be "properly trained." He says that the father consents to the child being sent to the Home, and encloses stamps for any forms. Letter marked Berry, KY.
