Letter to the Baptist Orphans Home from Mrs. Effie Blackwell, October 4th, 1906.

Blackwell writes to the Home regarding the adoption of a girl between the ages of 2 and 13 years. She says that she visited the home last April but there were no children to suit her. She says she wants a "fair skin and pretty blue eye" girl, and says that "the death last December of my own little darling has left my home so lonely." She asks to be written back, and says that she could come the 15th or 16th. Handwritten, "Home reported unquitable by J. F. Ninchell, M. E. A." Letter marked Clay, KY.
