RE: WINELAND, Irvin George
Mrs. Esther Kelly Watson, Supervisor
Children’s Department

Portland, Oregon
Dear Mrs. Watson:
I have recently had the opportunity to
again discuss with Mr. and Mrs. Archie Wineland the matter of them taking their
nephew into their home. It was explained to them that the maximum amount that
they could receive for the care of one child would be $18.00 monthly. It was
felt that they could take the boy for that amount but that they did not wish to
make it a permanent arrangement until they had seen the boy and he had spent
some time with them. It is suggested that perhaps he could spend the two remaining
months prior to the opening of the school year with them pending their
permanent decision. If he were a likeable and desirable child they would then
consider keeping him permanently if aistance were given them financially.
Would Multnomah County consider giving
them a temporary grant for two months at $18.00 per month and would his
transportation here and his return, if necessary, be provided?
Yours very truly
WALLOWA COUNTY RELIEF COMMITTEE

(Miss) Floris Sorensen,
County Administrator
