I made mention that this time had arived for that settlement. He said he was a going to Montgomery to get some money. He returned without any money. July came and I was no better off. received no settlement supplies or money or was the Plantation sold. The crop was made. He could then get along without me. He done his best [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] to have a difference with me again. At last the opertunity was presented to him and he made use of it.  I told Col Wickersham that was as long as I could stay with him He said very well you can go.

I says but I need some money to get some clothing &c and if he had no money at Hand to give me a order on the store. Where he had credit He told me that the Law was open to me to get what I could.

I left him then. I was aware that there was a ordor Issued from your Head Quaters forbidding the removal of the crop so I have taken no legal steps. As Col. Wickersham said he could have any suit put that came against him.  Now I wish I get my wages out of the crop that is now in Custady. I have a written contract for last year from Pearson and Wickersham Jointly.  I was a member of Co I. 1st Reg Mis Volls Infty and served during the war.

Now General I wish to get my hard work earnings and if you will assist me I will be made everlasting obligations to you.
