Letter to W. L. Weller from John and Mary Ballon, December 17th, 1894.

Ballon writes to Weller regarding the adoption of one of the Renfro children. He says he told James M. Renfro that he would "take the girl and do the best we could with it," but that they don't live in an area where they could "shool the child." He says that they would not adopt the child nor "pledg ourselves to any one in that way" and that if Weller "can't accept [his] proposal, [he] can't accept yours." Letter marked Cumberland Falls, KY.
