Letter to the Baptist Orphans Home from Katie M. Wright, January 1st, 1907.

Katie M. Wright writes to the Home on behalf of her mother and father, asking if the Home has a girl about 10 or 12 years old they could adopt. She says that she is their only daughter, and married 15 years ago, after which they adopted an orphan girl who has also recently been married. She says that her "only brother Dr. A. B. Coons" adopted a boy about 14 years ago from the Home who is now "a fine young man."
