Auburn Ala
June 15th 1867.

Gen. Swayne,

Dear Sir:

I understand that Cora, the mother of Anna Blackburn, has made complaint against Andrew Blackburn to have the child surrendered to her. The woman, Cora, is wholly incompetent to care for her self, much the child. She goes "from post to pillar" begging, & stealing and is a degraded strumpet.
