Sir:

This will introduce you to Mr. D.L. Russell of this city who visits your County for the purpose of securing property sold to Lt Sessums & Co. as per Bill of Sale on Record in Fort Bend Co. of which the original is in Mr. Russell's possession. 

It is desirable that you go with Mr. Russell and adjust the claims of the Freedpeople in this case, as he wishes to move from the plantation some or all of the stock.

Mr. Russell desires nothing but a fair and equitable settlement as far as the crop goes or will cover the amount due the Freedpeople.
