An envelope addressed to Rev. Kelly that contained a pamphlet/form for the Justice of the Peace to commit Black girls to the House of the Good Shepherd for Colored Girls due to incorrigible behavior reported by a parent or guardian. A commitment form/pamphlet to the Maryland School for Boys due to vagrancy. An envelope addressed to Judge Stone from the Maryland House of Corrections contained a note that alerted Judge Stone to the possibility of sending prisoners to their prison in Jessup, MD.
