- Description:
- This is a follow-up letter from E.L. McClain in Greenfield, Ohio to Louis M. Coleman in Chattanooga, Tennessee further explaining his reasoning for choosing not to purchase his mill and relocate to Tennessee. This decision, in large part, was in response to strict child labor laws in Tennessee. There was a state-wide 14-year-old age limit law at the time.
