Description

Fritts writes to Hollingsworth regarding a little boy in "the institution" of the county infirmary. Fritts says that the superintendent of the infirmary thinks he "ought to be in a better place." The boy is 5 or 6 years old, "healthy, and of good mind." His mother "is in the same institution and has the consumption." In postscript, Fritts says that "since writing the above, it has occurred to me that perhaps the mother may object" but that he will find out as soon as possible. Letter marked Carlisle, KY.
