Letter to Miss Mary E. Abercrombie from Mrs. Julia D. Clark, 1905.

Mrs. Julia H. Clark writes to the Home on behalf of Mrs. W. E. Bellis, who says that "she will reieve the Girl, for whom she applied, through me, about next Monday." She says that Bellis, "requires a Girl of 16 or 17 years of age, for housework, or lightwork, the sooner she comes in the week, beginning October 9th, 1905, the better." She asks for the application, and provides information regarding the girl's delivery to the home. In postscript, she adds that "Mr. W. E. Bellis is a commercial Traveller." Attached is a note from Mrs. Julia D. Clark, stating that she was "directed by Mr. J. R. Sampey, to address you, as per enclosed letter, in regard to your sending a girl from the 'Sourthern Baptist Theological Seminary.'" Typed at the top of note, "Answered Oct. 10, 1905." Letter marked Meadowbrook, near Louisville, KY.
