Letter to Mrs. M. E. Abercomber from T. E. Conyers, June 26th, 1905.

J. E. Conyers writes to Mrs. M. E. Abercromber to ask about Miss Mary Robb, a 14 year old girl at the Home who was recommended for him to adopt after a Mr. J. W. Hensley visited the Home on his behalf. He asks what the conditions for "let[ting] the children out" are, what is required of a person who takes them, and if returns are allowed. He asks where Robb is from, if she is bright and intelligent, if she moves quickly and if she can do housework. He says that he lives in a town of about 100, has a wife and 3 children (the oldest is 7.5 years). He asks for information. Letter marked Monroe, KY.
