Subject

Description

Paul V. Bomer writes to Hollingsworth regarding the children of Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Bryan, members of his church. Mrs. Bryan died three years ago, and Mr. Bryan died about a week ago. They left behind three children, two girls aged about 9 and 7 and one boy aged about 5. He says that he thinks the best thing for the children is to go to the Baptist Orphans Home, but the mother had in mind the Clenland [?] Orphanage, and also that the children's aunt and uncle would like to take care of the children so that they are not separated. He asks Mary's advice. Letter marked Versailles, KY.
