I have the honor to invite your attention to the following statement of Mary Carter. freedwoman.

In 1863, I left the plantation of my Master Henry Cundiff, in Northumberland Co. Va and came to Washington, with a portion of the Union Army. My Daughter, Hannah Eliza Carter, was then hired out to William Berry — living some two miles from Henry Cundiffs house, & I was unable to take her away with me.

I did not hear from her for nearly two years, when my sister — who was formerly the Slave of Thomas Sidner, who lived at Northumberland. Court House. came to Washington, and informed me that another Sister, Eveline Chin, had bound or hired out my Child to John Harden, "Cloadine" (Farm) Balls Neck, Northumberland, Co Va.
