Leona Hines (col"d) is not the mother of Anna Hines, but has had charge of her from her infancy, has educated her, and now cannot get along without her. Mrs. Wright states that the girl came to her requesting to be sent north, said she had no parents, was living with a white woman who abused her. It is very evident that Mrs. Wright did not make such investigation as would be proper in the case of sending a minor away from the city. But Mrs. Wright, to compromise, has promised to send for the girl immediately at her own expense. this has satisfied Mrs. Hines and will cause Mrs. Wright to be more cautious in the future.
