Sir
In compliance with your order made on the back of an anonymous letter herewith returned I have made a thorough investigation of the case, and beg leave to submit the following report.

After examining the papers, I find that Amy has been regularly bound to Kinian T. Tyrill, her former owner. She is 13 years old according to the bill sale he holds. He bought her in Va, and she has no connection in this county, she was bound to him by Adam Robinson former Agt of this County, until she arrived at 18 years of age. I have made inquiry of Tyrill's neighbors and can find no one either white or black that will testify that Tyrill was a cruel master. The Cold. people all say that he was the best master in this neighborhood, and he has a cold. woman for a cook now living with him
