Owing to the fact that, frequent depredations are committed upon the premises - and being inable any longer to protect them - on account of frequent absence from home - I do hereby transfer for my Lease obtained from the Treasury Department of the U.S. at Wilmington N.C. to this M.E. Brinkley's plantation in Brunswick County - N.C. at Brinkley's Depot on W.&M. R.R. to D.S. Cowan - Mrs M E Brinkley's true and lawful attorney - with the dwelling and Outhouses thereon - In testimony whereof, I do hereby set my hand and Seal.
