Description
Sarah F. Keely, Superintendent of the Indiana Reform School for Girl and Woman's Prison, writes to Hollingsworth regarding Cornelia West. She says that Cornelia has been at the Reform School as "an orphan and homeless girl since April 21 1891." She states that Cornelia is now staying with "our lady Dr. Caning" with her sister, who is an "invalid." Dr. Caning is teaching her to be a nurse, and Keely says that they "consider her pure gold." She goes on to compliment West more, and asks that Hollingsworth pass the information to her brother because she sent his letter back, stating that they had "an Effie West." Letter marked Indianapolis, IN.
