Sir
Enclosed please find a letter from Mrs. Pickett a resident of Wilson Co Texas. I have seen and questioned the Colored Girl Kate she wishes to remain with Mrs. P for another year, as her sister has made a contract with Mrs. P. from what I can learn the girl would be provided with a good home and be well taken care of. Complaints from other Parties have been made at these Hd qts in regard to the course pursued by the Agent for Wilson County as the enclosed letter is Endorsed by Judge Paschal it is entitled to consideration. 

I am Sir
