Windsor NC May 18th 1868

Lieut. Foote

My sister in law left her son with me in March just to keep till she came after him

I hired him to Lewis Bond he promised to pay me for the boy's work in provisions. but when I called on him for the pay he told me he did not have the provisions and does not owe me any thing.

Yesterday he (Mr Bond) went to my house and took the boy from me and forbid my going on his premises or attempting to get the boy back. How am I to get him? I have been sick and need the benefit of his labour which is my right

Respectfuly
