Asheboro, N.C.
February 19th 1868

T.L.L. Cox Esquire

Dear Sir -
If you recollect, that you drew up some papers for me at Mrs [[underlined]] Rebecca Lowe's [[/underlined]] to the agent of the Freedman's Bureau in Fayetteville, to get my children, as stated in the accompanying [[underlined]] memorandum [[/underlined]] from Currie, of Moore County to make him pay me the wages for their [[underlined]]services[[/underlined]].  I learn that the Bureau at Fayetteville has been removed to Raleigh; & no doubt the papers that you fixed up for me are now in [[underlined]]Raleigh[[/underlined]];  if not, you know all the [[underlined]]facts[[/underlined]];  & I wish you to present them to the proper officer at Raleigh & do what you can for me.
Address me at Science Hill, Randolph Co N.C.

[[underlined]] James Allen. [[/underlined]]

P.S. - I learn that Mr Currie is worth about [[underlined]] $5000- [[/underlined]]
