Letter from Meneely Hanks
to M O Hanks
Mansfield June 23rd 1873
Mary
I write at Mothers request - To know if you are going to send for Eddie soon. You very well know that Mother is not able to look after such a boy -- The town authority will see that he is cared for + he will be bound out to some one soon. You may think you have done a smart thing, playing such a game with mother leaving as you did. it is not looked at in that light-here and you will not make much out of the operation
in haste--
M H Hanks
In the same envelope was a clipping from a n unidentified newspaper. It states:
In another letter I may give you further particulars of this family. The liberal people of this place are on the watch, and if such a thing as putting the child away before his mother sends for him is attempted, there will be the biggest tempest in the Methodist teapot that has ever been known in this place anyhow. For the credit of Willimantic, it is to be hoped that these people will do justice by their relatives without their being forced to. There is a good deal of feeling about it among the best people here, who have been informed of the circumstances. It is bad enough, they think, to see such dishonesty and inhumanity among sinners, let along red-hot Christians like our neighbours.
JUSTICE.
