Dr Sir-

I am the guardian of Five orphan children Father & Mother both dead - 3 of them little girls - but of the [[?]] all that was saved to them was a small tract of Land which I rented this year to two young men who have made a crop and a few days ago shipped a portion of the crop to Selma which I these have attached to pay rents. At the same time I got out an attachment in Hall County in which the plantation is located to secure the balance and the Sheriff of that county refuses positively to levy the attachment which leaves me as the guardian of [[strikethrough]] thes [[/strikethrough]] these children at the mercy of these two men.

These children have nothing to live on but their rents & are too young to support themselves-
