Letter to the Baptist Orphans Home from J. Whit Potter, November 25th, 1905.

J. Whis. Potter writes to the Home on behalf of Julia Alexander, "a maiden lady of possibly 45 years who resides with her maiden sister a few years her younger and her batchelor brother probably 60 years old." Potter says that they are currently raising a boy from the KY Children's Home Society, and now want "to get a girl 13 or 15 years old" who is "stout and healthy" to apprentice. He says that the home would be ideal, the people are "kind and considerate of children, yet control them in the proper sort of manner." He recommends the home for a child. Handwritten, "None suitable to send, M. E. A." Letter marked Bowling Green, KY.
