Letter to the Baptist Orphans Home from R. C. Tartar, January 15th, 1910.

Tartar writes to the Home regarding two young children he is caring for in the Poor House of Pulaski Co.; one is 4 years old and the other 8 (very likely refers to Jerry Cook and Effie Burdine; see below). Tartar says that one child's mother is "an epeleptic," but "the disease has only recently demonstrated itself;" and the other child's mother "has tubuculosis." He asks for the children to be placed in the Home. Handwritten, "No further notice received." Letter marked Somerset, KY.
