Dr Sir
The 9 day of Feby 1866 I engaged to go from Mecklenburg County to Richmond with Mr Sam'l M Page. He agreed to pay me ten dollars pr month. I lived with him Six months. when I left went to him for my wages he refused to pay me. I carried the Contract to the Provo Martial. Mr Page made it appear that I was Security for my Father in Law who had rented some land and a house from him, and my wages were held for that purpose, Now he has sent an agent out to Collect the rent, please look after the which will show that the rent has been paid, and send them out pr mail to me, which will prevent my Fathers effects from being sold.

Most Respectfully
