If this verdict be allowed to stand I will
feel ashamed of the office I occupy and 
of looking a Freedman in the face.
I beg earnestly that justice may be 
vindicated - I am satisfied from
what I have [[?]], that no Freedman
will be tried impartially by a jury of 
this society.)

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
