Clere writes to Weller about children who are half orphans and whose father does not give consent for them to be placed in the Home. He says that the children's mother died and their 70 year old father is unable to work and is "a reckless no acount man." Clere says that he is taking care of the children currently, but is hardly able to take care of his own children and would like them to be placed in the Home. Letter marked Ashland, KY.
