Description
W. H. Oleer [sp] writes to Hollingsworth regarding the children of Mrs. W. P. May, who died about two weeks ago and leaves behind an infant (about 2 weeks old) and two older children "who have been placed in the hands of Mr. May's parents." Oleer says that the parents are unable to care for the infant and have no friends or family able to. He says that Mr. May is "a laborer and has the appearance of being a hardworking sober man, about 30 years of age." May wants the infant placed in the Home and asks for information and if he could "present the infant in person." On the back, Weller writes "Will take child when cold weather sets in," June 29/96. Letter marked Owensboro, KY.
