Letter to W. L. Weller from Geo. A. Cubbage, July 26th, 1895.

Geo. A. Cubbage writes to Weller regarding the "little Phelps girl" (perhaps referring to the baby that a Mrs. Phelps from Bowling Green, KY surrendered to the Home in 1893). It seems that Weller asked Cubbage for a recommendation from an "old grandfather" and his wife who wanted to adopt the child, but Cubbage states that they are "wholey unfit to have the rearing of such a little unfortunate creature," adding that they are very poor and the wife is a, "very immoral, corrupt old woman." Letter marked Leitchfield, KY.
