Dear Sir. 

One of my former slaves comes to me in the following trouble: he bound one of his daughters to Mrs J. J. Davis who lives at Market and 6th street in Grants Cottage for "support, clothing & education." The girl "Chany" her name has been enticed by evil minded negroes from the home thus provided for her, to her ruin She is young and can be brought back to the path of virtue and industry, but Adam her Father is unable to bear the expenses of coming after her. 
Will you please have her taken up and sent to Adam by the Wil. Wel. R.R.  
I am unable from my adverses to loan Adam any money, but as he will farm on my land this year, I will be responsible for any expenses within reason as a lien on his crops
Very Respectfully W. E. Peirce
