Letter to W. L. Weller from Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Rowlett, November 27th, 1894.
Subject
Description
Rowlett writes to Weller to inform him that the conditions for adoption or release of a child from the Home "make it impossible for [them] to think of trying farther to take a girl from the Home." He says that they "did not wish nor expect to get one as a servant, but what [they] want is a girl to assist [him] with [his] household duties." He goes on to say that he would have "conscientious scruples about promising to treat one exactly as [his] own child," and seems very disappointed in the conditions about the Home. Letter marked Habardsville, KY.
