Capt.

I desire your assistance to oblige possission of my two (2) children that are now living with Mr. Robert Hettrick Attorney at Law Washington Virginia. Some ten (10) years ago I was sold with one child into this County and seperated from my two Sons who are now Fourteen and Sixteen years old. I am now growing old unable to labor as have in years gone by and my only hopes of support in future are by the assistance of my Sons Captain if it is in your power & I do hope you will assist me in getting my children
Respectfully
Fanny Hettrick
