Letter to Miss Mary Hollingsworth from B. T. Hall, December 25th, 1895.

B. T. Hall writes to Hollingsworth regarding two children whose mother is dead and whose father "has abandoned them," disappeared, and is "'no good.'" He says that the boys are 5 and 3 years old, have no relation to care for them, no property, and are currently at the "county poor house." Hall asks under what conditions the Keeblers can be brought to the Home. At the top of the letter, Weller writes, "no room now may be in the future" on Dec 29. Letter marked Benton, KY.
