This letter, dated February 1st, 1888, is from H. M. Greene, Superintendent of the Kansas State Asylum for Idiotic and Imbecile Youth, regarding asylum matters to Kansas Governor John Martin. Greene discussed a woman applicant for the asylum. Greene concluded that he rejected the application because she did not meet requirements for acceptance. The asylum opened in 1881 in Lawrence for children age fifteen and younger. The asylum's name changed eventually to Winfield State Hospital.
