former master who was mistreating him by last year applying the lash to him: has been Singled out to be bound at our next Court.  This little fellow is now with a Sister of his and is well taken care of.

I desire to be informed by return of mail if this Course will be prevented by the Government!

This threatened binding is causing much distress with the destitute Col'd  who regard it as the re-enslaving of their offspring.

I am with great respect
