Keysville, Charlotte Co-1, Va- Saturday, April 16, 1870- Ira Sayles Rev. R. M. Manly: My Dear Sir, Yours of the 9th inst, inclosing a ten dollar bill ($10) from Mrs. Annie E. Allston to her brother, Ned Tatum, was only received on Thursday last, the 14th inst. and the money paid to the said Ned Tatum. I know nothing of Mrs. Allston's present circumstances; but I know that her brother, Ned, had fallen under the relentless pressure of his last year's landlord for rent. The poor fellow came to you and applied to his sister for a little aid.
